Georg rejected this patch in Python 3.2:

"I did say I like the feature, but that was a) before beta 2
was released, now the next release is a release candidate, and b) this
thread showed that it is not at all obvious how the feature should look
like.  The fact that it isn't enabled by default also makes it seem less
attractive to me, but I understand the reasons why it shouldn't be on by
default.  Therefore, I'm not willing to make an exception here."

So I created a third party module on the Python cheese shop:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/faulthandler/

The module works on Linux, FreeBSD and Windows with Python 2.6 through 3.2.
