Python allows you to do,

try:
  if a:
     raise SomeException()
  else:
     raise xyz()

except:
  print 'There was an error'

but is it possible to print out the exception if you don't know what
type it is? I'd like the above error message to be more useful, but the
exception raised inside the try block could be anything. Is it possible
to find the last exception raised?

Cheers,

Stuart
