"force", no.  The "stderr" stuff is done by an "unhandled
exception" handler that is at the very top level, so
if you catch the exception, it will never see it to
print it.

Doing this will probably suffice, however:

import traceback
try:
     1/0

# one should avoid non-specific exception catching
# in most cases, but this is an example:
except:
     traceback.print_exc()
