Yes.  See:

http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65287

Actually, I don't use that recipe myself, I usually just run something like:

python -i peak whatever

which drops you back to a Python prompt following any uncaught 
exception.  I then type:

 >>> import pdb
 >>> pdb.pm()

to get into the postmortem debugger.  You can then inspect variables in any 
of the stack frames that were active when the exception occurred.
