This will catch *every* exception, and throw it away before it gets to
your "print" statement.
This is almost never a good idea. You should catch *specific*
exceptions that you know you can deal with at that point in the code.
import logging
try:
foo = 12 / 0
except ZeroDivisionError, e:
print "You *knew* this was going to happen: '%s'" % e
logging.error(str(e))
This allows all other exceptions to propogate back through the call
stack.
