This is quite fine, however, sometimes I get very vague error message thrown
at me which don't help a great deal. How can I log the full exception and
backtrace as if it were thrown to stderr and I wasn't catching it?

Use format_exc() in the 'traceback' module to get a string for the
current stack trace (and exception) and log that.

Cheers,
Chris
