The simplest solution is to configure the variable ADMINS with email addresses of people who should get error notifications. When DEBUG=False and a view raises an exception, Django will email these people with the full exception information.

settings.py

ADMINS = (('John', 'john@example.com'), ('Mary', 'mary@example.com'))
# or only ADMINS = (('John', 'john@example.com'),)
