What is the type of traceback objects in Python?

import sys

try:
    raise Exception('foobar')
except:
    info = sys.exc_info()

print(type(e[2])) # <class 'traceback'>
help(traceback) # NameError: name 'traceback' is not defined

What exactly is the type of the traceback objects that Python uses for exception reporting?

The docs on sys.exc_info mention the Reference Manual, but while I've found plenty of information on how to manipulate traceback instances, I want to be able to access the type (class) itself.
