Re: [capi-sig] exceptions, the right way

Thanks Marc-Andre,

If not, you simply pass on

the NULL/-1 return value to the higher level function in your call stack.

This is exactly my problem. What I am trying to do (and the example seems to show) is:

• define an new type.
• define getsetters functions.
• say, if one want to delete an attribute, one writes in the setter function:

if (value == NULL) { PyErr_SetString(PyExc_TypeError, "Cannot delete the last attribute"); return -1; }

so, one expects that can do:

import noddy2 mynoddy = noddy2.Noddy(number=15) mynoddy.first = "a" try: del mynoddy.last except TypeError, e: print "Error: ", e

(passing the PyExc_TypeError to the interpreter). In my situation try/except is ignored and the interpreter crushes. Am I missing something?
