There is also the third way of catching an exception explicitly and
printing it's arguments and class (doesn't give exactly the same
information, but gives relevant informations nonetheless)

>>> try:
1/0
except ZeroDivisionError, e:
print e
print e.args
print repr(e)
integer division or modulo by zero
('integer division or modulo by zero',)
<exceptions.ZeroDivisionError instance at 0x00E35850>

(catching Exception instead of ZeroDivisionError would yield the same
result, but would also act as an Exception trap that voids any exception
raised)
