In the docs for sys.exc_info(), the description of traceback says:

traceback gets a traceback object (see the ---> Reference Manual <---) which encapsulates the call stack at the point where the exception originally occurred.

It might be nice if Reference Manual had a link.

Assigning to @Mariatta for the PyCon sprint.
