Either wrap all your module level code in a try:.. except:.. statement,
or you can replace the sys.excepthook() function with your own custom
function (see http://docs.python.org/lib/module-sys.html)  but that
would then be called for all uncaught exceptions, even those that were
raised from modules other than your myFile.py.
