    Looking at the documentation of sys.last_value and friends:

    Their intended use is to allow an interactive user to import a debugger module and engage in post-mortem debugging without having to re-execute the command that caused the error.

    So, if you are in an interpreter doing debugging I suggest using sys.last_value, but in a script I suggest you to use sys.exc_info().
