Reproducer:

(1) Create a file called 'test.py' containing:

def function():
    raise RuntimeError("error")
def config(key, value):
    function()
def open(readonly):
    raise RuntimeError("open")
def get_size(h):
    raise RuntimeError("get_size")
def pread(h, count, offset):
    raise RuntimeError("pread")


(2) Run this command:

  $ nbdkit -fv python ./test.py foo=bar


When the RFE has not been implemented you will see only this:

  nbdkit: error: ./test.py: config: error: error

With the RFE implemented you will see a full traceback:

  nbdkit: error: ./test.py: config: error: ['Traceback (most recent call last):\n', '  File "./test.py", line 4, in config\n    function()\n', '  File "./test.py", line 2, in function\n    raise RuntimeError("error")\n', 'RuntimeError: error\n']

*** Bug 1614187 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Requesting exception for RHEL 7.6.  It's a small change and easily
tested, and it will greatly improve the logs/errors collected from
customer machines deploying IMS 1.0.

Verify the bug with builds:
nbdkit-plugin-python-common-1.8.0-1.el7.x86_64
nbdkit-plugin-python2-1.8.0-1.el7.x86_64
nbdkit-1.8.0-1.el7.x86_64
nbdkit-plugin-vddk-1.8.0-1.el7.x86_64

Steps:
1.Create a file called 'test.py' with below content:

$ cat test.py 
def function():
    raise RuntimeError("error")
def config(key, value):
    function()
def open(readonly):
    raise RuntimeError("open")
def get_size(h):
    raise RuntimeError("get_size")
def pread(h, count, offset):
    raise RuntimeError("pread")

2.Run command:
$ nbdkit -fv python2 ./test.py foo=bar
nbdkit: debug: TLS disabled: could not load TLS certificates
nbdkit: debug: registering plugin /usr/lib64/nbdkit/plugins/nbdkit-python2-plugin.so
nbdkit: debug: registered plugin /usr/lib64/nbdkit/plugins/nbdkit-python2-plugin.so (name python)
nbdkit: debug: python: load
nbdkit: debug: python: config key=script, value=./test.py
nbdkit: debug: python: config key=foo, value=bar
nbdkit: error: ./test.py: config: error: ['Traceback (most recent call last):\n', '  File "./test.py", line 4, in config\n    function()\n', '  File "./test.py", line 2, in function\n    raise RuntimeError("error")\n', 'RuntimeError: error\n']

Result:
   nbdkit can get full traceback when a Python call fails, so move the bug from ON_QA to VERIFIED
