<p>Python 2 had three variables in the <code>sys</code> module that you could access while an exception was being handled: <code>sys.exc_type</code>, <code>sys.exc_value</code>, <code>sys.exc_traceback</code>. (Actually, these date all the way back to Python 1.) Ever since Python 1.5, these variables have been deprecated in favor of <code>sys.exc_info</code>, which is a tuple that contains all three values. In Python 3, these individual variables have finally gone away; you must use <code>sys.exc_info</code>.
