I've never known the exception not be displayed, unless you 
suppress it.  Try viewing the HTML source in the browser to see 
if the message is hiding.

I'm not sure what your problem is here.  The exceptions IIS 
generates are of type com_error.  So put

from pywintypes import com_error

at the top of the page.  Then some exception handling could be

except com_error, ohdear:
  Response.Write(str(ohdear))

Which, IIRC, shows what would have been displayed if you hadn't 
caught the exception.  It does have to be str and not repr in 
this case.

All of which may have no connection with what you wanted to know
