Currently, python tracebacks shows the last of continuation lines
when a function spans across multiple lines. This line usually
contains some function parameter only and thus is not very useful
for debugging the problem.

For example:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "./tcms-run", line 48, in <module>
        summary=options.summary)
    File "/tmp/nitrate/Nitrate.py", line 600, in __init__
        raise NitrateError("Need either id or test plan")

If the traceback contained the beginning of the continuation line
it would be IMHO much more clear where/how the problem happened.

    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "./tcms-run", line 48, in <module>
        run = TestRun(plan=plan, distro=options.distro,
    File "/tmp/nitrate/Nitrate.py", line 600, in __init__
        raise NitrateError("Need either id or test plan")

Version: Both Python 2 and Python 3.

Trivial reproducer:

    def fun1(par):
        raise Exception
    def fun2():
        fun1(
                par="value")
    fun2()

Actual results:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/tmp/traceback.py", line 10, in <module>
        fun2()
    File "/tmp/traceback.py", line 8, in fun2
        par="value")
    File "/tmp/traceback.py", line 4, in fun1
        raise Exception
    Exception
