In 3.4, format_list() was documented to accept return values of extract_tb() and extract_stack() functions and they both were returned lists: def extract_tb(tb, limit=None): return list(_extract_tb_iter(tb, limit=limit)) def extract_stack(f=None, limit=None): stack = list(_extract_stack_iter(_get_stack(f), limit=limit)) stack.reverse() return stack I don't think we support the "pass manually created iterables" case here. > 2) What is the desired component type for the aggregate passed to > format_list?
