Is this some guideline? I actually quite dislike pick somebody's mail to 
pieces. It actually pulls things out of context. But if this is a rule 
for this, so be it.

Sounds like I MacroPy would enable me to basically insert a function 
call before and after each try: block at import time. Is that correct so 
far? That sounds not so bad at all.


However, if that only works due to importing it is not a solution. I 
need to make sure I catch all try: blocks, the current stack is in (and 
is about to step into).

Ah yes, and it should work with Python 3 as well.
