.. index:: object: traceback
If no exception is being handled anywhere on the stack, a tuple containing three
``None`` values is returned. Otherwise, the values returned are ``(type, value,
traceback)``. Their meaning is: *type* gets the exception type of the exception
being handled (a class object); *value* gets the exception parameter (its
:dfn:`associated value` or the second argument to :keyword:`raise`, which is
always a class instance if the exception type is a class object); *traceback*

If no exception is being handled anywhere on the stack, a tuple containing
three ``None`` values is returned. Otherwise, the values returned are
``(type, value, traceback)``. Their meaning is: *type* gets the type of the
exception being handled (a subclass of :exc:`BaseException`); *value* gets
the exception instance (an instance of the exception type); *traceback* gets
a traceback object (see the Reference Manual) which encapsulates the call
stack at the point where the exception originally occurred.

The name is rebound if it was already bound. This may cause the reference
count for the object previously bound to the name to reach zero, causing the
object to be deallocated and its destructor (if it has one) to be called.
