If you're aborting because of the exception after unsuccessfully trying to 
handle it, you can always just use "raise" with no operands, which will 
re-raise the underlying exception. That's what I usually do:

try:
     1/0
except ZeroDivisionError:
     print "oops."
     raise

prints:

oops.
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "[...]\test.py", line 2, 
in <module>
     1/0
ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero
