Have a look at the traceback module. Example:

>>> def foo():
...     try:
...             oops
...     except:
...             traceback.print_exc()
...             raise
...
>>> def bar():
...     try:
...             foo()
...     except:
...             traceback.print_exc()
...
>>> import traceback
>>> bar()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 3, in foo
NameError: global name 'oops' is not defined
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 3, in bar
