I'm not the one to decide, but at some time the traceback module should be rewritten to match the interpreter behavior.

No argument from me about that. I also think the traceback module should be corrected, and the test cases updated, despite the objections that it may break other people's doctest test cases.

Assuming this is fixed in 2.5 final, is there some way to write doctests that work on both 2.4 and 2.5? If not, should something like doctest.IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL be added -- say IGNORE_EXCEPTION_MODULE?
