It is a PITA from C++ code.  I can direct you to c++ which could do it, 
but a better way is to get Python itself to do it.

Have your main entry point function do something like:

try:
   do_the_real_thing()
except:
   file=StringIO.StringIO()
   traceback.print_exc(file=file)
   win32api.OutputDebugString(file.get_value())

Nope :(
