[Boost-users] [python] intercepting uncaught exceptions

Hi,

I am using Boost.Python quite extensively (even stretching it to the limit in
some cases). Now I cave this problem:

Is there any way to intercept uncaught exception in embedded Python code?

I need to add some information to an exception/traceback in this case. I have
full control over environment before embedded code is executed.

I thought I'll be able to use sys.excepthook, but it does not seem to be invoked.

Alternatively I'd can live if I can somehow retrieve the context of failed call
(global/local dict?) in boost::python::error_already_set handler.

Please advise,

Gennadiy
