Thanks Kent:
## the code fragment below is what I'm looking for:
            etype, value, tb = sys.exc_info()
            print "value = " , value 
            print "tb = " , tb  
            print "etype = " , etype  
            print "ERROR LIST = " , traceback.extract_tb(tb)
## shows the following:
value =  integer division or modulo by zero
tb =  <traceback object at 0x40700c34>
etype =  exceptions.ZeroDivisionError
ERROR LIST =  [('./nwmls_cron.py', 98, '?', 'process(args)'), 
               ('./nwmls_cron.py', 16, 'process', '1 / 0 # test exception handling and logging')
               ]
cheers!
