Understandably many of the tickets we file in Trac contain tracebacks. It would be excellent if these were nicely formatted and syntax highlighted.

I've conducted a cursory Google search for a Python traceback wiki processor and have not found any quick hits.

I'm happy to roll my own if anyone can recommend a traceback formatter (stand alone or embedded in an open source project) that outputs HTML/reStructuredText/etc.

I don't believe you need that patch. You could specify the shortcode mapping in the trac.ini, but you can also (at least in trac 0.12) just use the mime type directly:

{{{
#!text/x-python-traceback
<traceback>
}}}

See more at http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracSyntaxColoring. x-python-traceback isn't in the list there, but you'll get an error previewing if trac can't handle it and it WorkedForMe.

Pygments has support for syntax-coloring Python tracebacks, and there's a trac plugin, but the wiki page claims Trac 0.11 supports Pygments natively.

Trac 0.11 supports Pygments but doesn't expose the pytb formatting type. Here's a patch against Trac 0.11.3 to add support for Python tracebacks.
