This is a patch that consolidates the implementation of traceback.format_tb and traceback.print_tb into one common internal function traceback._get_tb. The current implementations are almost identical, except that the print_tb() ones also prints to a file ...

Now, I don't really know what the Python developers feel about this kind of cleanups which doesn't really add any value for the end user. I've seen projects where this kind of patches are not accepted because of this. IMHO, making code more readable and reducing duplication is always a good thing.

Is there anything else that I have to do in order for this patch to be looked at ? I am holding off a similar one for print_exception vs. format_exception

Thank you for the patch. It seems like it would make more sense to implement print_tb in terms of extract_tb. That is, print_tb should iterate through the result of extract_tb and do its printing.
