What's the best way to wrap a whole script in try..except?

[Hari Sekhon]

I want to wrap a whole script in try ... except. What is the best way of 
doing this?

Consider the following: -

try:
    import <modules>

    <CODE>

    def notifyme(traceback):
       code to tell me there is a problem

except Exception, traceback:
    notifyme(traceback)


Would this code not work because if any part of <CODE> encounters an 
exception then it won't reach the notifyme() function definition and 
therefore the whole thing won't work and I won't get notified when a 
traceback occurs, in fact the call to notifyme() under except will 
itself probably trace back as well!

Do I have to instead do:

import <a couple of modules>
def notifyme():
    code to tell me there is a problem

try:
    <CODE>

except Exception, traceback:
    notifyme(traceback)


How you you handle this?
