I think the setting you are looking for is in
Edit->Preferences->Debugger/Exceptions.  At the top there is a
drop-down for "Report Exceptions".  My default is set to "when
printed".  (But I don't know what the right setting would be.)

I'd never seen the "except Exception as ex" syntax.  I'd always used
"except Exception, e:"  I guess I learned something today!
