# Put in pythonpath and 'import debug'

import sys

def info(type_, value, tb):
    if hasattr(sys, 'ps1') or not sys.stderr.isatty() or type_ is KeyboardInterrupt:
        # we are in interactive mode / we don't have a tty-like device / user-triggered, so we call the default hook
        sys.__excepthook__(type_, value, tb)
    else:
        import traceback, pdb
        # we are NOT in interactive mode, print the exception...
        traceback.print_exception(type_, value, tb)
        pdb.post_mortem(tb)

sys.excepthook = info
