Catching unhandled exceptions in Python

See original GitHub issue

Hi there, is there any option to catch unhandled exceptions from within a Python program (no Flask/Django)?

I can do this in Azure Application Insights as follows:

#!/bin/env python
import applicationinsights.exceptions
applicationinsights.exceptions.enable( '********-****-****-****-************' )
print 2/0

The above code would report a ZeroDivisionError exeception to the Azure Application Insights console.

Regards, Danilo

Ah, very nice! I kinda hoped so, it just isn’t super clear in the doco. Not sure if that is able to be contributed to or not? Otherwise, perhaps a suggestion for it to be added 😉

I’d like to know this too. Just started using Sentry, and thought this was exactly the point of it, to catch unhandled exceptions in stock Python so that devs didn’t have to go hunting through logs.

A big fat except: seems heavyhanded.
