Problems trying to hook own exception function to sys.excepthook

[Sami]

Hello,

I am new to Python.

I tried to hook my own ExceptionPrintingFunction sys.excepthook but it 
does not work.

This is what I wrote:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
import sys

def MyOwnExceptHook(typ, val, tb):
	print "Inside my own hook"

sys.excepthook = MyOwnExceptHook

x = 1/0
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is what I get
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File 
"E:/Home/Programming/Python/TryProjects/ExceptHandling1/Except5.py", 
line 8, in <module>
     x = 1/0
ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I never see "Inside my own hook" which tells me that the hook is not 
being called. What I really want to test is to stop the exception from 
propagating further and leave the program intact.

What am I doing wrong? Please let me know if there are any other newbie 
groups that I should probably try in stead.

Thanks

Sami
