Terry J. Reedy added the comment: For future reference, a better initial post would have been more self-contained and explanatory, something like the following. (If I got the proposal wrong, all the more reason to explain it clearly). --- Several functions in the traceback module take a *limit* argument to limit output to the first n 'stack trace entries'. This issue proposes that negative limits should instead limit output to the last n entries. This idea was discussed on python ideas and approved by Guido there. https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2014-October/029826.html. ---
Do the new tests pass with n=0? If not, do the functions have a sensible behavior (print header and no entries, rather than raising) that could be tested? ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22619> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
