Problem overriding sys.excepthook

For a start, note that the exception hook does not _really_ have to be
in the main module, just imported before any "protected" code is to be
executed.

Having said that, what I personally typically do for exception trapping
doesn't even require an exception hook.  I will execute all my code
from inside a try/except block in the main module.  If the exception is
invoked, you can query and get all the data about the exception like
you are currently doing, and then re-raise the exception (or not).

I haven't given too much thought to when I would set an exception hook.
 It seems like more of a debugger kind of thing.  Especially if you
have control over the entire app, a try/except at the top level feels
cleaner to me.
