docs: PYTHON 2 ONLY VERSION -- needs to be in its own file for syntactic reasons
  
      ignore_exc_tb decorates a function and remove both itself
      and the function from any exception traceback that occurs.
  
      This is useful to decorate other trivial decorators
      which are polluting your stacktrace.
  
      if IGNORE_TRACEBACK is False then this decorator does nothing
      (and it should do nothing in production code!)
