Just to be sure we're talking about the same thing here, my understanding is 
that the "missing traceback" issues referred to here are only an issue when 
IDLE is run as a stand-alone GUI program, such as can be done on Windows and 
with the OS X IDLE.app.  In that case, the standard Python tracebacks from the 
interpreter written to stderr are not readily visible to the user.  In the OS X 
IDLE.app case it does get captured in a system log. I'm not sure if that 
happens anywhere in the Windows cases.  If IDLE is started from a terminal 
window or console window where stderr is displayed, this is not an issue.

But I think further discussion about proposed improvements to IDLE diagnostics 
could be useful but it is not germane to the specific bug here.  It should be 
carried out elsewhere, possibly resulting in a feature request.
