ReportBug() (exception emails - ala django debug style)

"""
_FROM / _TO will define the email delivery settings.
Code can be easily adapted to use the values from settings.py.
The next revision will include this
"""
_FROM = 'My Errors <[email protected]>'
_TO = '[email protected]'

"""
ReportBug() allows you to send exception details to you, via email, but with
far more detail than the default. It uses the base function for the traceback
used by the Debug mode on Django.

This is a first revision, so the emails have no decent styling, but it works,
and shows scope on each stack. 

It will automatically generate a random serial number per error, so you can track them
in your favourite bug tracker. It also has support for you to pass it a request variable,
so the mail would also contain request/response context. Again, i'm gonna look into doing
this manually in the future.

Hope this helps!

Mwah.
