> It's not entirely clear to me what you are trying to do (what is the output you are hoping to get?) but this looks more like a question than a bug report, so I am closing this issue. If this is still relevant, I'd suggest you ask on the python users list or StackOverflow - you are more likely to receive a prompt response there.

If you don't understand an issue, the correct response isn't to close it because you don't understand it. If an issue is unclear, you should ask for clarification, not insult the person who opened it. 

What you described *is* the bug report. If you read even the title you would see that the report is that setting __traceback__ to None doesn't affect the printing of the exception.
