print '\n\ncgitb\n',cgitb.text((tbt,tbv,tb),1)
raise_an_error()
The above script gives the error location as line 6 using
traceback.format_exception, but when the same triplet is passed to cgitb
formatters the error is recorded as coming from the line where cgitb.text is
called (or cgitb.html). Is this not an error?
The entire output from the script is below. At the very end the original
standard traceback is repeated inside cgitb.text and differs from the nicely
formatted version.

A problem occurred in a Python script. Here is the sequence of
function calls leading up to the error, in the order they occurred.

the original traceback:
