Manually fire Django 1.3's traceback/exception log - django

Question

I'm using djutils's async decorator, which has the nasty side effect of not sending traceback emails when an exception is raised, since it runs on a separate thread.
It does, however, have the following place to put a logger.
def worker_thread():
while 1:
func, args, kwargs = queue.get()
try:
func(*args, **kwargs)
except:
pass # <-- log error here
finally:
queue.task_done()
I've confirmed this will work, but even with the try/except removed, it won't trip Django's traceback logger.
While it'd be pretty easy to tell it to write to a db/file on exception, I'd really like it to send a regular traceback as defined in settings. How can I do that?
Edit: answer seems to involve django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler - but I'm having a hard time finding an example.
Edit 2: Here's my current (99% likely to be wrong) attempt.
from django.utils.log import AdminEmailHandler
def worker_thread():
while 1:
func, args, kwargs = queue.get()
try:
func(*args, **kwargs)
except:
import logging
from django.conf import settings
print settings.EMAIL_HOST
logger = logging.getLogger("async.logger")
logger.exception("Async exploded")
AdminEmailHandler
pass # <-- log error here
finally:
queue.task_done()

Answer 1

first, configure your logging settings i settings.py:
LOGGING = {
'version': 1,
'disable_existing_loggers': False,
'handlers': {
'mail_admins': {
'level': 'ERROR',
'class': 'django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler'
}
},
'loggers': {
'myproject': {
'handlers': ['mail_admins'],
'level': 'INFO',
'propagate': True,
},
'django.request': {
'handlers': ['mail_admins'],
'level': 'ERROR',
'propagate': True,
},
}
}
from now, all loggers which starts with 'myproject' should use AdminEmailHandler
your code should look like this:
import logging
logger = logging.getLogger('myproject.optional.path')
# example
# logger = logging.getLogger('myprojects.myapp.views')
def worker_thread():
while 1:
func, args, kwargs = queue.get()
try:
func(*args, **kwargs)
except:
logger.exception("Async exploded")
finally:
queue.task_done()
