Find module name of the originating exception in Python

Example:

>>> try:
...    myapp.foo.doSomething()
... except Exception, e:
...    print 'Thrown from:', modname(e)

Thrown from: myapp.util.url

In the above example, the exception was actually thrown at myapp/util/url.py module. Is there a way to get the __name__ of that module?

My intention is to use this in logging.getLogger function.

python exception logging stack-trace introspection
