There isn't a way to shorten the stack trace.  If you are losing
information at the top because of your terminal window, you can
likely increase the number of lines it will keep for you.

Another option is to reduce the maximum stack depth, so that it
is exceeded sooner, which produces shorter stack traces:

    import sys;
    sys.setrecursionlimit(50)
