Others have given you information on how to get at the stack trace. But 
regarding getting at some of the other internals you are talking about:

 >>> import inspect
 >>> help(inspect)

Back to exceptions, you can also provide your own global exception handler by 
overriding sys.excepthook (drop in your own function).
