PDB: exception when in console - full stack trace

pdb

When at the pdb console, entering a statement which causes an exception results in just a single line stack trace, e.g.

(Pdb) someFunc()
*** TypeError: __init__() takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given)

However I'd like to figure out where exactly in someFunc the error originates. i.e. in this case, which class __init__ is attached to.

Is there a way to get a full stack trace in Pdb?

I'm debugging an script that I'm writing and the result of executing a statement from pdb does not make sense so my natural reaction is to try to trace it with pdb. To paraphrase: Yo dawg, I like python, so can you put my pdb in my pdb so I can debug while I debug? >>> More
