Python is too dynamic to do this reliably. eg:

e = exception_returning_func()
raise e

You'll probably be better served by capturing and logging all
unhandled exceptions in your app ("logger.exception(e)" works nicely
in a high level "catch Exception e" block), and then notifying users.

Another thing to try is coverage testing. Won't raise all possible
exceptions in a given  piece of code, but at least you can check if
all lines get run once.
