Good point.  You can also make the outer try/exception 
conditional on whether running in Wing's debugger like so:

def x():
  # your main code here

import os
if os.environ.has_key('WINGDB_ACTIVE'):
  try:
    x()
  except:
    print "exception" # Put breakpoints or logging here
else:
  x()

Hope that helps.
