Just letting you know about some work in this space:

I'm currently working on improving the tracebacks in IPython here with a new generic library I've made for tracebacks. I also have a PR to integrate it into stackprinter.

It would be good if you included the above list in the README (or link to this issue0 for fellow programmers.

Also my library stack_data is now complete and integrated into IPython in master. A few things it can offer that you may struggle with otherwise:

• Highlighting the exact executing node, e.g. as in Highlight the executing node with stack_data ipython/ipython#12150
• Showing the values of simple expressions such as a.b and a[b] alongside local variables
• Showing the qualified name of the function, e.g. MyClass.__init__
• Showing multiline statements in full without having to add superfluous lines of context otherwise
• Handling repeated frames, e.g. in recursion errors
