I see that the exceptionhook is handed 3 things, the name of the error, 
the explanation,  and the traceback object.

Does anybody know how I can get the linenumber of the error the way it 
does normally, since this is very useful info when debugging.
I think I need the traceback module but I can't see how to extract the 
extra info from the traceback object passed to excepthook.
