boost.python exception handling

Hi -

I am using boost.python from boost 1_26 with g++ 3.02 and python 2.2
under solaris 2.7. I have had quite a bit of success wrapping numerous
classes, but I cannot figure how to handle ++ exceptions. The simple
example in the documentation i.e.

catch(...)
{
  python::handle_exception(); // Deal with the exception for Python
}

does not compile, apparently because handle_exception() expects a void
(*)() argument.  Can someone please give me a short example to
demonstrate the correct way of handling c++ exceptions with
boost.python ? 

Thanks !
