traceback

Debug path display

A traceback is the sequence of function calls that led to an error in a program, displayed when something goes wrong.

It shows the path execution took before crashing, helping programmers locate bugs: The traceback pointed to line 47 in the parser.

In Python especially, reading tracebacks is a core debugging skill.
