[New-bugs-announce] [issue22936] traceback module has no way to show locals

[Robert Collins]

New submission from Robert Collins:

>From https://github.com/testing-cabal/testtools/issues/111 - any code that is data dependent can be hard to diagnose from a backtrace alone. Many unittest and server environments address this by doing custom tracebacks that include locals.

To address this in unittest, we need to add a similar capacity to traceback, and then use it from unittest (as we can't just depend on a module from PyPI in the stdlib).
