Here's what I use, modulo a certain amount of mangling by Mozilla, which 
I am still trying to tame:

def hook(et, ev, eb):
     import traceback
     log("\n  ".join (["Error occurred: traceback 
follows"]+list(traceback.format_exception(et, ev, eb))))

sys.excepthook = hook

This works very well, but you'll need to supply your own "log()" 
function. Shouldn't be too hard ...
