The logging module has a function specifically to handle this case:

try:
    # do something
except:
    logging.exception("Uh oh...")

The exception() method will automatically add details of the exception
to the log message it creates; as per the docs, you should only call
it from within an exception handler.

Hope that helps,

Vil.
