So far, the solutions presented in response to your question provide
the output back to the browser. However, you may want your errors:

* logged
* archived
* e-mailed to you

when you actually deliver your web site. Imagine a user gets an
unexpected error from your site and you automatically get an e-mail in
your box saying who/what/when.

This is available from CGI Wrapper, one of the components of Webware
for Python, http://webware.sourceforge.net

It's another Python script that executes other CGI Python scripts, just
a bit fancier. It has both docs and a config file.
