Either I don't understand what you mean, or I can't reproduce it:

<code>
import logging

def a(): return b()
def b(): return c()
def c(): return d()
def d(): raise ValueError

def main():
   logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
   try: a()
   except: logging.exception("An error")

main()
</code>

Output:

D:\temp>python test_logging.py
ERROR:root:An error
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "test_logging.py", line 10, in main
     try: a()
   File "test_logging.py", line 3, in a
     def a(): return b()
   File "test_logging.py", line 4, in b
     def b(): return c()
   File "test_logging.py", line 5, in c
     def c(): return d()
   File "test_logging.py", line 6, in d
     def d(): raise ValueError
ValueError
