Catch and print full Python exception traceback without halting/exiting the program

traceback.format_exc() or sys.exc_info() will yield more info if that’s what you want.

import traceback
import sys

try:
    do_stuff()
except Exception:
    print(traceback.format_exc())
    # or
    print(sys.exc_info()[2])
