Oh, come on. Making tracebacks less useful to protect people who accidentally spray them across the internet seems absurd. Would you like them not to show source, either?
I said that many people considered that to be the case, not that I did. ;) I'd personally prefer to read module names than filenames, so I guess I should've mentioned that. :)
Of course, Guido has previously answered the filename vs. modulename question (years ago in fact), so it was moot even before I mentioned it. For some reason it slipped my mind at the time, though.
