Quick and dirty: have your threads append exception strings to a
module-level list or dictionary, which you can then read with a
different thread. Example follows; extend if you need it.

runProblems = []

def run_thread():
    try:
        run()
    except Exception, x:
        runProblems.append(str(x))

def dump_problems():
    print runProblems
