This function returns the old-style representation of the handled exception. If an exception e is currently handled (so exception() would return e), exc_info() returns the tuple (type(e), e, e.__traceback__). That is, a tuple containing the type of the exception (a subclass of BaseException), the exception itself, and a traceback object which typically encapsulates the call stack at the point where the exception last occurred.
