@ -65,12 +65,6 @@ to state that your object has a certain ``attribute``. In case this
assertion fails the test ``reporter`` will provide you with a very
helpful analysis and a clean traceback.
Note that in order to display helpful analysis of a failing
``assert`` statement some magic takes place behind the
scenes. For now, you only need to know that if something
looks strange or you suspect a bug in that
*behind-the-scenes-magic* you may turn off the magic by
providing the ``--nomagic`` option.

@ -223,17 +217,16 @@ to see a variety of 17 tracebacks, each tailored to a different
failure situation.
``py.test`` uses the same order for presenting tracebacks as Python
itself: the outer function is shown first, and the most recent call is
shown last. Similarly, a ``py.test`` reported traceback starts with your
failing test function and then works its way downwards. If the maximum
recursion depth has been exceeded during the running of a test, for
instance because of infinite recursion, ``py.test`` will indicate
where in the code the recursion was taking place. You can
inhibit traceback "cutting" magic by supplying ``--fulltrace``.

There is also the possibility of usind ``--tb=short`` to get the regular Python
tracebacks (which can sometimes be useful when they are extremely long). Or you
can use ``--tb=no`` to not show any tracebacks at all.
