The logging options sound very useful.
When I get into situations where my python scripts are crashing Maya,

It a Windows only thing. You can attach Visual Studio to Maya then use
the following command to print stuff for python into the debug stream.
import win32api;
win32api.OutputDebugString ('some message I want to see')
