 ultratb.py -- Spice up your tracebacks!
 
 * ColorTB
 I've always found it a bit hard to visually parse tracebacks in Python.  The
 ColorTB class is a solution to that problem.  It colors the different parts of a
 traceback in a manner similar to what you would expect from a syntax-highlighting
 text editor.
 
 Installation instructions for ColorTB:
     import sys,ultratb
     sys.excepthook = ultratb.ColorTB()
 
 * VerboseTB
 I've also included a port of Ka-Ping Yee's "cgitb.py" that produces all kinds
 of useful info when a traceback occurs.  Ping originally had it spit out HTML
 and intended it for CGI programmers, but why should they have all the fun?  I
 altered it to spit out colored text to the terminal.  It's a bit overwhelming,
 but kind of neat, and maybe useful for long-running programs that you believe
 are bug-free.  If a crash *does* occur in that type of program you want details.
 Give it a shot--you'll love it or you'll hate it.
 
 Note:
 
   The Verbose mode prints the variables currently visible where the exception
   happened (shortening their strings if too long). This can potentially be
   very slow, if you happen to have a huge data structure whose string
   representation is complex to compute. Your computer may appear to freeze for
   a while with cpu usage at 100%. If this occurs, you can cancel the traceback
   with Ctrl-C (maybe hitting it more than once).
 
   If you encounter this kind of situation often, you may want to use the
   Verbose_novars mode instead of the regular Verbose, which avoids formatting
   variables (but otherwise includes the information and context given by
   Verbose).
 
 
 Installation instructions for ColorTB:
     import sys,ultratb
     sys.excepthook = ultratb.VerboseTB()
 
 Note:  Much of the code in this module was lifted verbatim from the standard
 library module 'traceback.py' and Ka-Ping Yee's 'cgitb.py'.
 
 * Color schemes
 The colors are defined in the class TBTools through the use of the
 ColorSchemeTable class. Currently the following exist:
 
   - NoColor: allows all of this module to be used in any terminal (the color
   escapes are just dummy blank strings).
 
   - Linux: is meant to look good in a terminal like the Linux console (black
   or very dark background).
 
   - LightBG: similar to Linux but swaps dark/light colors to be more readable
   in light background terminals.
 
 You can implement other color schemes easily, the syntax is fairly
 self-explanatory. Please send back new schemes you develop to the author for
 possible inclusion in future releases.
