The meaning of sys.tracebacklimit seems to be different than the meaning of the various limit parameters in the traceback module. One shows the top n stack frames, the other the bottom n.
Is this intentional, and if yes, is that difference documented somewhere? (it came up because PyPy just uses the traceback module and has no equivalent of PyTraceBack_Print).
See the attached script to understand the problem. The script formats the same exception twice, once with the traceback module, once by the interpreter. I would have expected them to look the same for all limits, but instead:
$ ./python /tmp/x.py 3
limit 3
from traceback module:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/tmp/x.py", line 19, in <module>
main()
File "/tmp/x.py", line 16, in main
x3()
File "/tmp/x.py", line 14, in x3
x2()
ZeroDivisionError: division by zero
from interpreter:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/tmp/x.py", line 14, in x3
x2()
File "/tmp/x.py", line 12, in x2
x1()
File "/tmp/x.py", line 10, in x1
1 / 0
