You can overwrite the sys.exepthook() with your own function: import sys from traceback import format_exception def my_excepthook(exctype, value, traceback): details = "".join(format_exception(exctype, value, traceback)) # now show the details in your dialog box sys.excepthook = my_excepthook See the documentation for details: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-sys.html#l2h-5125 Hope this helps, Ziga -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
