It allows code targeting legacy Python environments to use a unified traceback API rather than dealing with version-specific differences in the standard library.\n\nThe package has no runtime dependencies and installs cleanly, but it is no longer maintained. The repository was archived and the last release occurred in 2015. Modern Python versions include the traceback functionality natively, so this package is primarily useful only for projects that must support very old Python versions that are themselves no longer receiving security updates.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned and unmaintained since 2015. Modern Python versions include native traceback support. Install only if you are maintaining legacy code that must run on Python 2.6\u20133.4 and cannot upgrade\u2014otherwise, use the standard library traceback module."},"id":"traceback2","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/traceback2","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/traceback2.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/traceback2/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2015-03-09","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"traceback2","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Backports of the traceback module"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1531411,"position":3806,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.4.0"}
