In the Python world there are two terms which seem to be equal:
Is there any difference between the two?

The traceback module works with the call stack to produce error messages. A traceback is a stack trace from the point of an exception handler down the call chain to the point where the exception was raised.
traceback. print_exc(limit = None, file = None, chain = True) : This is a shorthand for print_exception(*sys. exc_info(), limit, file, chain). traceback. print_last(limit = None, file = None, chain = True) : It works only after an exception has reached an interactive prompt.
Method 1: By using print_exc() method. This method prints exception information and stack trace entries from traceback object tb to file.
The Python stack trace is a valuable piece of information that you can use to debug your code. It contains information about the call stack and points out where things have gone wrong. At the end of a stack trace, you can always find the exact exception type and a detailed message of what's gone wrong.
The Stacktrace is the trace of the methods call stack, exactly as it is in the memory of the computer that is executing your program.
So most recents method calls are at the top; and likely the root of the problem is at the top as well.
Virtually all programming languages do it this way.
The Traceback is something Python has "invented": it's the reversed of the above. So, to find the root of your problem, you need to start reading it from the bottom, as this is apparently easier to read to pythonists.
To make it clear, they have had to specify "most recent call last".
Calling "stacktrace" a "traceback" is simply wrong: a traceback is not a trace of a stack. It's a stacktrace reversed: and the "back" probably means so.
At the top of a stack, in every meaning, you have the most recent item.
