Usage of some functions from traceback module can result in AttributeError exception in Python 3, while simply printing/returning something with None in Python 2.
This regression was introduced in Python 3.0.

$ python2.7 -c 'import traceback; print(traceback.print_exc())'
None
None
$ python2.7 -c 'import traceback; print(traceback.print_exception(None, None, None))'
None
None
$ python2.7 -c 'import traceback; print(traceback.format_exc())'
None

$ python2.7 -c 'import traceback; print(traceback.format_exception(None, None, None))'
['None\n']



$ python3.5 -c 'import traceback; print(traceback.print_exc())'
