Your efforts would be better directed towards fixing the causes of the fatal errors. I see no need to hook Py_FatalError, but since it's open source, you are of course free to patch your own copy if your urge is truly irresistible. Or I guess you could run Python under supervision of gdb and trap it that way. But tell me, what do you want the process to do instead of terminating? Py_FatalError is used in situations where raising an exception is impossible or would do more harm than good. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
