C macros in Python.

[Olivier Dagenais]

You should be able to print out or inspect a traceback, if you catch an
exception.  Search on http://python.faqts.com for "CGI" (I think..) and one
of the topics deals with printing out (to the browser) the traceback from a
CGI script that failed.  It's got an example on how to retrieve the
traceback, which contains file names (if appropriate) and line numbers.
