I usually have a function like this:
def get_excinfo_str():
"""return exception stack trace as a string"""
(exc_type, exc_value, exc_traceback) = sys.exc_info()
formatted_excinfo = traceback.format_exception(exc_type, exc_value,
exc_traceback)
excinfo_str = "".join(formatted_excinfo)
del exc_type
del exc_value
del exc_traceback
return(excinfo_str)
I can then call it from within "except" and print it to a log file.
