Bug Description
affects testtools
twisted.internet.base.DelayedCall has different behaviour depending
whether or not debug was specified to its constructor. It will set
self.creator to traceback.format_stack().
Later on, in its __str__ it uses the debug attribute to determine
whether or not to add a traceback to the output - a traceback which is
not available in case testtools monkey patched debug to be true.
Btw, apart from this issue the debug code was really useful in tracking
down a bug in the builddmanager yesterday. Thanks for writing it.
Cheers,
jelmer
