No, and you should not try.

You can control the stacktrace display where you catch it, but not where 
you raise it. And that's the point, you are raising it because you don't 
want to handle it there. You are expecting the user to deal with the 
error, including how it is displayed.

Peter has already showed you how to do that by overridding the standard 
exception hook sys.excepthook..
