That's great for people using IDLE, but for those using the vanilla Python interpreter, M-A.L makes a good point about increasing the vertical size of the traceback which will almost always be ignored. Its especially the case for beginners. Its hard enough to get newbies to read *any* of the traceback. Anything which increases the visual noise of that is going to make it harder. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/3ADVDPF4Z5DMXKG2CMJ3JTIN2SC76AUC/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
