Looking at src/optional/python-bindings/gnucash_core.c most of the exceptions are dealt with; except for this one. The function at line 14119 does indeed appear to just pass the error through.

I agree, it can be done by manipulating the database directly but via GnuCash would be better.
The bindings are maintained by Mark Jenkins, perhaps a bug needs to be opened if this is an issue?
