I just submitted a patch done differently than you suggested. I simply
added a text() formatting routine to cgitb.py and an extra 'format' argument
to cgitb.enable(). Now, if you want plain text output, just call enable()
like so
import cgitb
cgitb.enable(format="text")
I think I muffed the HTML formatting (there was an odd little bit of logic
in there I believe I might have botched). I'll take another look at that
and submit a revised patch if necessary and include a little doc update.
For the curious, the patch is at
http://python.org/sf/569574
Guido expressed interest, so I assigned it to him. ;-)
