Just to answer this question on its own for the moment:
the following code is the kind of thing you can use
to trap an error and write the traceback to a file.
(You could also use the stdlib logging module):

<code>
import traceback

try:
   1 / 0 # or something more useful
except:
   with open ("error.log", "a") as f:
     traceback.print_exc (file=f)
     # or f.write (traceback.format_exc ())

</code>
