Hey, that works great!
I've been programming in python for quite a while, but never bothered with 
digging around the sys module very much.  It took me a little while to figure 
out how to print it all out.  Here is what I came up with:


import traceback
from StringIO import StringIO
from kdeui import KMessageBox

separator = '-' * 80

def excepthook(type, value, tracebackobj):
    tbinfofile = StringIO()
    traceback.print_tb(tracebackobj, None, tbinfofile)
    tbinfofile.seek(0)
    tbinfo = tbinfofile.read()
    sections = [str(type), str(value), separator, tbinfo, separator]
    msg = '\n'.join(sections)
    KMessageBox.error(None, msg)
    

and in the main script:

from 'module' import excepthook
sys.excepthook = excepthook

... then __main__
app = myapp()
app.exec_loop()

It seems to work pretty good.  I'll pretty up the message box later, but this 
works quite well for now.

Thanks :)
