I know this is an old question, but these days I would recommend using a service such as Sentry to capture your errors.

On Django, the steps to set this up are incredibly simple. From the docs:

• Install Raven using pip install raven
• Add 'raven.contrib.django.raven_compat' to your settings.INSTALLED_APPS.
• Add RAVEN_CONFIG = {"dsn": YOUR_SENTRY_DSN} to your settings.

Then, on your 500 page (defined in handler500), pass the request.sentry.id to the template and your users can reference the specific error without any of your internals being exposed.
