Summary: sys.excepthook doesn't work in threads
Initial Comment:
simple script to reproduce:
import sys, threading
def log_exception(*args):
print 'got exception %s' % (args,)
sys.excepthook = log_exception
def foo():
a = 1 / 0
threading.Thread(target=foo).start()
Note that a normal traceback is printed instead of "got
exception."

Here is a workaround in the meantime:

"""
Workaround for sys.excepthook thread bug
(https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1230540&group_id=5470).
Call once from __main__ before creating any threads.
If using psyco, call psycho.cannotcompile(threading.Thread.run)
since this replaces a new-style class method.
"""
import sys
run_old = threading.Thread.run
def run(*args, **kwargs):
try:
run_old(*args, **kwargs)
except (KeyboardInterrupt, SystemExit):
raise
except:
sys.excepthook(*sys.exc_info())
threading.Thread.run = run

I've just run into this, and it's very annoying. The stupid part is that
threads started with the thread module don't have this problem, it's just a
problem with threading.Thread()s trying to be too clever.
I would vote for deleting all the code to do with exception printing in
threading.py and letting the C machinery take care of it.
