:Maybe you should wrap the whole thing in a try/except to log whatever

:
:try:
:   (the body of your script)
:except:
:   import sys
:   f=open("somelogfile","w")
:   print >> f, sys.exc_info()
:   f.close()
:   
:   raise # Re-raise the exception so that the program doesn't quit silently

Would someone please explain the last line above about re-raising the
exception? I don't understand what that does.
