The traceback2 module works on python3 as well. I don't think patching
imports will be necessary?

There is a moderate chance testtools-1.4.0, requests-2.12.4 and
sphinx-1.5.1 requires updating a bunch of python packages anyway :)

But I see we don't currently have traceback2, so I'm fine with 1.4.0
for now just to avoid packaging it. The rest LGTM, let's get this in!
