Whilst experimenting with the Python bindings I noticed that exceptions are not propagated when using registerErrorHandler(). If I run the following I get the error message:

        /etc/passwd : failed to parse.

However, there is no Traceback for the "raise".  Is this correct?

import libxml2
import sys


  You have
    Python calling C calling Python.
the internal exception in the callback does not cross the C boundary
I don't see how this could work without disastrous side effects like
memory leaks or general instability in the program.

I don't think this is quite accurate. Think about python as a high-level API to a C runtime. If the outer and the inner python runtimes are the same, there is certainly a way to pass the necessary information through (i.e. ultimately just preserve the exception state from the callback).
