Howto pass exceptions between threads

[Alexander Eisenhuth]

Hallo Alltogether,

I've searched in this mailing list, but it seems to me that there is no general 
approach to pass exceptions from one thread to another.

I think most application do a unique way of handling "unhandled exceptions", at 
least they (should) try to log them.

The following discussion seems to me most valuable (Sorry for the long URL, I 
don't know a way of shorter)

http://groups.google.de/group/comp.lang.python/browse_frm/thread/a2ebb2a2f611779b/4b820c20ff3fcea8?lnk=gst&q=%2Bexception+%2Bthread&rnum=6&hl=de#4b820c20ff3fcea8

I've the feeling that if you're using the python class threading.Thread you've a 
unique interface of handling it. (thread synchronizing + exception raising)

But' when you've a C++ extension, that uses it's own thread implementation and 
your exceptions happens in python code (but from a thread that is controlled by 
your extension) you have another problem.

Maybe I've overseen something in the python docu, so I ask for the solutions, 
concepts, hints ... you solved the problem.
