You could instead do something like this:

try:
    # ...
except:
    import code
    code.interact()

you could even create a stub.py module, like this:

import runpy
import code
import sys
try:
    mod_name = sys.argv[1]
    mod_globals = {}
    sys.argv = sys.argv[1:]
    mod_globals = runpy.run_module(mod_name, run_name='__main__',
alter_sys=True)
except BaseException, e:
    mod_globals['e'] = e
    code.interact(mod_globals)

and run it with python2.6 stub.py code_module
though it's probably more useful to just use pdb.pm() instead of
code.interact here... the debugger is your friend!
