Phil, we just tried your suggestion and added a wrapped exception class and enabled \
the -e flag.
Although it does translate the C++ exception to Python properly, it does it a little \
different than the regular Python exceptions would. In Python, one would write:
try:
raise RuntimeError, "Got an error"
except RuntimeError, detail:
print detail
When run, this would print "Got an error".
But when the C++ exception is received by Python, "print detail" returns the class \
instance of the wrapped exception object. Is there a seamless way of having Python \
display the error message rather than the class instance reference? If the person who \
wrote the python code did not provide the try/except block then all he/she would see \
is going to be the name of the class which is not very informative.
Thanks

The -e flag enables the generation of try/catch blocks around *all* calls to
wrapped functions for that module. You can include throw specifiers in .sip
files. eg.
void foo() throw (bar);
"bar" must also be defined as a wrapped class and is converted to a Python
object when caught.
Try running with the -e flag added and have a look at the generated code.
