[issue9315] The trace module lacks unit tests

I will defer to your judgement on the level of "whiteness" that is appropriate.

I have passed your patch through 2to3, replaced test_support with support and it looks like we have a test case for a regression in 3.x:

======================================================================
FAIL: test_loop_caller_importing (__main__.TestCallers)

Traceback (most recent call last):

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I am attaching a py3k patch.  Let's decide how to proceed.  I would like to commit 3.x and 2.x versions at the same time.   Ideally together with fixes for 3.x bugs.  Another approach would be to temporarily disable failing tests in 3.x, but that would make merging between branches more difficult.

A few more nitpicks:

1. There is no need to use leading or trailing underscores in function or variable names.

2. It would make code more readable if you use longer name for the Trace instance: 'trace' or 'tracer' instead of 'tr'.

3. Your file seems to have white space issues.  Please run "make patchcheck".

4. This may be gratuitous, but I would rather see "func" instead of "foo" and testmodule, testfile, etc. instead of fake*.
