How about using the excellent logging framework instead of rolling your
own stuff? It can print the traceback, too.

>>> import logging
>>> logging.basicConfig()
>>> log = logging.getLogger("mymodule")
>>> try:
...     raise ValueError("test")
... except Exception:
...     log.exception("some message")
...
ERROR:mymodule:some message
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 2, in <module>
ValueError: test
