If we want to show exceptions which are generated , on ur template(500.html) then we could write your own 500 view, grabbing the exception and passing it to your 500 template.

Steps:

# In views.py:

import sys,traceback

def custom_500(request):
    t = loader.get_template('500.html')

    print sys.exc_info()
    type, value, tb = sys.exc_info()
    return HttpResponseServerError(t.render(Context({
        'exception_value': value,
        'value':type,
        'tb':traceback.format_exception(type, value, tb)
    },RequestContext(request))))

# In Main urls.py:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
handler500 = 'project.web.services.views.custom_500'

# In Template(500.html):

{{ exception_value }}{{value}}{{tb}}
