if you want to trap "uncaught" exceptions, add an except handler to the top
level of your program:
try:
main()
except MySpecialException, v:
v.open_trouble_ticket()
a less convoluted approach would be do to
def open_trouble_ticket(exctype, value, traceback):
...
try:
main()
except:
open_trouble_ticket(*sys.exc_info())
or, in recent Python versions,
import sys
def open_trouble_ticket(exctype, value, traceback):
...
sys.excepthook = open_trouble_ticket
main()
