+"""Handle exceptions in CGI scripts by formatting tracebacks into nice HTML.
+
+To enable this module, do:
+
+    import cgitb; cgitb.enable()
+
+at the top of your CGI script.  The optional arguments to enable() are:
+
+    display     - if true, tracebacks are displayed in the web browser
+    logdir      - if set, tracebacks are written to files in this directory
+
+By default, tracebacks are displayed but not written to files.
+
+Alternatively, if you have caught an exception and want cgitb to display it
+for you, call cgitb.handle().  The optional argument to handle() is a 3-item
+tuple (etype, evalue, etb) just like the value of sys.exc_info()."""
