Can we in python code, catch exception generated by C++ pythonized function?

[Siu-Tong Hui]

Thanks for all the responses.

We use SWIG to link from python to C++. Our highest level code is in
python.

What I tried was simply using:

try:
#        call to C++ pythonized function
except:
            print "Error: Abnormal Program Termination"

In the C++ code, I throw an exception. I couldn't catch it in the above
python code.

If I cannot catch exception in python, since we are using python as high
level command shell, we would have to put in exception control codes in
all pythonized C++ functions in order to have bullet-proof exception
protection. If I can catch exception in python, then I only need to do it
once in my highest level command shell in python.
