Summary: sys.excepthook does not work with -m command line switch

Initial Comment:
crashlog.py is the following:
  import sys

  def excepthook(type, value, traceback):
      print "BUMMER"

  sys.excepthook = excepthook

When crash.py is like:
  import crashlog
  raise ValueError("so sad")

The it works as expected:
  [mtebeka at lakshmi - 11:22] ~ $python crash.py 
  BUMMER
  [mtebeka at lakshmi - 11:23] ~ $

However when I try to load crashlog using -m and leave crash.py like:
  raise ValueError("so sad")

The nothing (not even original excepthook is called):
  [mtebeka at lakshmi - 11:23] ~ $python -m crashlog crash.py
  [mtebeka at lakshmi - 11:25] ~ $
