How to catch and print the full exception traceback without halting/exiting the program?

Question

I want to catch and log exceptions without exiting, e.g.,

try:
    do_stuff()
except Exception, err:
    print(Exception, err)
    # I want to print the entir

A remark about this answer's comments: print(traceback.format_exc()) does a better job for me than traceback.print_exc(). With the latter, the hello is sometimes strangely "mixed" with the traceback text, like if both want to write to stdout or stderr at the same time, producing weird output (at least when building from inside a text editor and viewing the output in the "Build results" panel).

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\User\Desktop\test.py", line 7, in
hell do_stuff()
File "C:\Users\User\Desktop\test.py", line 4, in do_stuff
1/0
ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero
o

So I use:

import traceback, sys

def do_stuff():
    1/0

try:
    do_stuff()
except Exception:
    print(traceback.format_exc())
    print('hello')
