What's wrong with triggering this in some __repr__ implementation? If an excepthook must be installed, why couldn't the previous excepthook be preserved, and called in case the exception is not what you are looking for? Of course, even if this excepthook behaves friendly, some other package might overwrite excepthook without preserving yours, in which case people would "sometimes" get a NameError when they try to exit.
