I am having trouble with the following code: PyObject *module = PyImport_ImportModule(modulename); if (module == NULL) { PyObject* et, *ev, *etr; PyErr_Fetch(&et, &ev, &etr); PyObject* traceback = PyImport_ImportModule("traceback"); PyObject* tb = PyObject_CallMethodObjArgs(traceback, PyString_FromString("format_exception"), et, ev, etr, NULL); char *message = PyString_AsString(PyObject_Str(tb)); ... ... } When this code executes, it gets into the "module == NULL" condition. However, when I try to get the exception that occurred, I get the value "<NULL>" copied into the "char* message" variable. Can anyone shed some light on what might cause this to happen? I thought that if I actually get into that NULL condition that an exception has occurred. -- Craig Slusher cslush@gmail.com
