sys.tracebacklimit not working in Python 3.2?

[Thorsten Kampe]

Hi,

type test.py

import sys

sys.tracebacklimit = 0
import doesnotexist

python test.py

ImportError: No module named doesnotexist

python3 test.py

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 4, in <module>
import doesnotexist
ImportError: No module named doesnotexist

The 3.2 documentation says "When set to 0 or less, all traceback
information is suppressed and only the exception type and value are
printed". Bug?
