Python: can't see exception that is getting thrown

I am running a unit test and I realize that there is an exception getting thrown. However, I am just not sure what exactly is getting thrown.

from pt_hil.utilities.PT_HIL_Interface_Utils.widgets import PathPicker
import unittest
import wx

class TestUM(unittest.TestCase):

    @classmethod
    def setUpClass(cls):
        print 'setUpClass called'
        cls.path_picker = PathPicker()
        print 'path_picker has been declared'

    def test_PathPicker(self):
        self.assertRaises(NotImplementedError, wx.UIActionSimulator.MouseClick(self.path_picker.browse))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main()

the PathPicker class:

class PathPicker(Widget):

    def __init__(self, parent=None, name="PathPicker"):
        print 'hi1'
        try:
            Widget.__init__(self, name, parent)
        except Exception as e:
            print 'hello'
            return logging.error(traceback.format_exc())
        print 'hi2'

the output I get when I run the unit test is:

setUpClass called
hi1

Process finished with exit code 1

So clearly, something is going wrong at: Widget.__init__(self, name, parent) but I can't see what it is. Is there any way I can get this to print out what exception or error is getting thrown?

edit: here is the Widget class to go along with it:

class Widget(QWidget):
    def __init__(self, name, parent=None):
        print 'hey2'
        try:
            super(Widget, self).__init__()
        except BaseException as e:
            print 'hello'
            return logging.error(traceback.format_exc())
        print 'hey3'

now it is giving me:

setUpClass called
hi1
hey2

Process finished with exit code 1
