Instead of having to pass type/value/tb separately, allow to pass `exc=ExceptionInstance()`

-1 on the patch as is. I posted my analysis and suggestions in msg288671 in https://bugs.python.org/issue26389. In brief, 'exc' and 'value' should be synonyms until 'value' is deleted, and 'tb' parameter should be kept with tb=True the default and meaning 'get tb from exc'. I consider the latter more important and the name change and 'etype' deletion. |

You must document these changes in Doc/library/traceback.rst. Don't forget a ".. versionchanged:: 3.7" section.

You should also document that the traceback object is now get from exc if tb is not set.

I think this would be better off in the main RST documentation, rather than the doc strings. Normally the doc strings exclude finer details, changes from previous versions, etc.

It seems like these lines are duplicated 3 times: write a private helper function to factorize the code.

it is recommended to use the exc keyword argument, which [specifies] all the required values.

Thanks for the review. I think I'll restart that from scratch and use the approach describe in https://bugs.python.org/issue26389, basically using |
