Created by David D Lowe on 2010-03-01 and last modified on 2010-08-24

gtkcrashhandler catches Python exceptions anywhere in your application and displays a user-friendly error message dialog.

It has the following features:
- includes the exception's stack trace in a text box hidden by an expander
- can be used with multiple threads using gtkcrashhandler_thread decorator
- integrates with Apport: if it's installed and enabled, a "Report problem" button will be added.

To use in your programs, just add the following two lines at the top of your main module:
import gtkcrashhandler
gtkcrashhandler.initialize()

For threads, decorate the run method with:
@gtkcrashhandler.gtkcrashhandler_thread
