PYTHON: get your own exception catcher

you can set your own exception handler, this is done by

sys.excepthook = your_func

for that you must define a function, with following parameters:

def your_func(exc_type, exc_obj, exc_tb):
    print "whoaaa my exception"

then you can call an exception

5/0
=>
whoaaa my exception

def your_func(exc_type, exc_obj, exc_tb):
    import traceback
    l = traceback.format_exception(exc_type, exc_obj, exc_tb)
    print type(l)
    print l

=>

['Traceback (most recent call last):\n', ' File "./t1.py", line 37, in \n 5/0\n', 'ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero\n']


traceback.format_exception(...) return us a list of information
as a normal exception traceback
