if your app is willing to tolerate errors/crashes, then i would take
alan's advice and just letting the errors happen, as opposed to being
so careful with (and integrating Kent's suggestion for the full
traceback with):

try:
    BLOCK
except Exception, e:
    print e, traceback.print_exc()
    # take some other evasive yet safe maneuver

i only use the above when integrating into large systems (that aren't
supposed to crash, that need some cleanup, and/or that need to take
other action).  otherwise for simple scripts, i just let the darn
thing crash out and add in the handler for those errors.

cheers,
