Subject: Add traceback information to PL/Python errors
X-Git-Tag: REL9_1_BETA1~152
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2bd78eb8d51cc9ee03ba0287b23ff4c266dcd9b9;p=postgresql

Add traceback information to PL/Python errors

This mimics the traceback information the Python interpreter prints
with exceptions.
