sys.excepthook = something_else

print >> sys.stderr, "foo"

Both of these require a new-ish Python (not sure which release,
sorry).

An example of both:

>>> def eh(type, value, tb):
...     print >> sys.stderr, "Exception: ", type
...
>>> sys.excepthook = eh
>>> 1/0
Exception:  exceptions.ZeroDivisionError

Cheers,
