You mean "copy and paste the whole output"? I'm not sure what more needs to be said about posting them. Reading them is a bit more complicated, but possibly _too_ complicated for a simple wiki post. Being able to quickly eyeball a traceback and know which level to look for the problem at is part of the skill of debugging, and it usually requires that you know the codebase fairly well too. Though even with unfamiliar code, it's possible to figure a lot out by naming conventions, which is why they're so important (all uppercase meaning "constant" and normally a scalar - so useful).
