But my point is that we as developers will not catch them all. Our users
*will* do something weird which will cause exceptions. If they are
silently eaten, we may never hear about them. That is why I said I'd
ideally like something like the following dialog pop up:

Internal Program Error!

It is recommended that you restart Chandler to prevent data corruption.

[View report before sending] [Send bug report] [Do not send]

The report would be simply an email which would contain Chandler
version, backtrace, and any other information we might think would help.

Ok, so I will see the dialogs even if I have optimized binaries but take
out -O from RunPython?
