Demonstration of what happens when you crash in your python cgi script & strategies to write better, more robust and debuggable code.

• View the source here: crash_example_05.txt
• printing from a function
• Use 'cgitb' to do the error reporting for us!
• import cgitb; cgitb.enable()
• Add a little more control, calling cgitb from our exception handler
• Nothing will print after this line, the next line contains a div/0!
