Hi,
I have a custom exception in C++ that I would like to use in Python.
Let's call it MyException with custom constructor and members (an
implementation is below).
I would like to expose it to python so that I can raise it:
> raise MyException(-1, 'tragic error')
The perfect way that I can imagine is to tell boost::python to base the
class on PyExc_Exception, but that doesn't seem to work. Furthermore I
have found various solutions how to translate exceptions thrown in C++
into proper Python exceptions, but in my case these solutions sit at the
wrong place.
I would like to avoid to create a corresponding python class to the C++
exception, because there would be added effort to keep the two
descriptions consistent.
I am happy about any comments and questions!
Cheers
Martin
class MyException: public std::exception {
MyException();
MyException(int code, const std::string &string);
int code();
const char* what();
int errorCode;
std::string errorMessage;
};
