An exceptions puzzler:

[troy d. straszheim]

Scenario: From python I call wrapped c++ code. This c++ code calls a python function via a boost::python::object and attempts to extract a value from what is returned. This causes a throw, and the exception propagates back up to python. It is possible for 'stuff' to get called in a function like this:

def foo():

try:

return

except:

stuff()

I don't have all the details handy about what is happening on the C++ side, this is a 'note to self' to investigate and document a best practice.
