Summary: PyErrr_Display and traceback.format_exception_only behaviour

Initial Comment:
PyErrr_Display and traceback.format_exception_only
behave differently; namely, the first one prints the
module of an exception, the latter not.

The attached tb_problem.py illustrates the problem, it
prints:

Error: text

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "tb_problem.py", line 3, in ?
    raise uu.Error("text")
uu.Error: text

(note the diff betwen "Error:..." and "ui.Error:...")

The attached patch fixes this. Python 2.2.2 has the
same problem.

Committed in the p3yk branch as revision 51625.

This isn't exactly the same patch, and also fixes the
doctests that this here patch broke, but it fixes the same
issue.

Seems like this is an item for Python 3000.

Opened this again.  Anthony reverted the patch on both trunk
and 2.4 branch.  Whether it will be applied on the trunk
again is being discussed on python-dev.

As noted on python-dev, the 2.4-branch backport should be
reverted, because it changes visible behavior (including
causing at least three of the standard tests to fail).
