The --sync option is a standard option parsed by gtk_init() - I'm not
sure how to get it through to wxWindows/Python. However they really
should have a way, because otherwise this sort of thing is impossible
to debug (you get the error long after you caused it).

Anyway, if you can figure that out: for gdb do this:

$ gdb python
startup messages, etc.
(gdb) run myprogname.py --sync
[wait for crash]
(gdb) backtrace
