sys.excepthook, getting traceback values

[Josh Close]

When sys.excepthook is called, type, value and traceback are passed
into it. How do I get the values of traceback?

I've tried printing it, but I get the memory location. I'm gussing
there are some methods to use on it.

From what I can tell the traceback that's passed in works differently

from the module traceback.

I just need to get the traceback to log it. I can use type and value,
but that doesn't print what line the error occurred.

Here is what I use:

import traceback
#
# Get traceback lines
#
tblines=traceback.format_exception(type, value, tb)

Basically this is what prints in an uncaught exception.
You can then print, write to file, etc.
