py.test Tracebacks: Highlight my code, fold frames of framework

Tracebacks of my tests are too long since I use pytest.

Pytests includes surrounding code lines and a lot of other information.

I like to see this information if the traceback line (frame) is from my code. But I don’t want to see it, if it is from a library or framework.

I could not find a way to filter or fold the frames.

Any hints?

Update, 8 years later: I think it is time to say goodbye to ASCII and embrace html. With html you can expand/collapse parts (like in the great django debug view).

Unfortunately there seems to be no pytest output which gives you nice interface like for example sentry does.

I’m afraid this is currently not possible and is an enhancement request: https://bitbucket.org/hpk42/pytest/issue/283/traceback-filtering-hook

The only control you have for the moment is --tb=short etc.
