This isn't quite a Tkinter thing, but why can't some clever person (I couldn't 
do it) make it possible for you to put something like this

#! /usr/bin/python -t "/home/me/error.txt",stderr

at the beginning of a Python program and have the interpreter direct all of the 
traceback messages to the file error.txt, and stderr?  I've got a 43,000 line 
Tkinter/via X11 program and stupid users that won't tell me when it crashes -- 
if they even notice.  Right now we create an xterm on their computer then 
execute and ssh to the server where the program resides.  The errors come out 
in that xterm, but if the users quit they are gone.  It seems like the 
interpreter would be the smartest place to put something like this since it 
controls everything, and so you don't have to try and guess in which section of 
code you misspelled a variable name and put it in a try-except.

Isn't this reasonable?  There are all kinds of questions about this problem, 
but never any really good solutions.  I like this one. :)  I just wouldn't have 
any idea how to do it, or if it's even possible.

Bob
