How have you been doing it all along?  Just open a console onto that 
server, start the appropriate version of Python interactively, and try 
the things we've been talking about.  If it fails the same way as within 
the cgi environmnet, you get full visibility.

Or if the problems cannot be recreated outside the cgi environment, use 
the log files you've been logging other problems into.  Or simply open a 
text file for writing, and add a file= keyword parameter to the print 
function call.

      print(repr(e), file=myfile)
