cppexception: translate C++ exceptions into Python

class pybindgen.cppexception.CppException(name, parent=None, outer_class=None, custom_name=None, foreign_cpp_namespace=None, message_rvalue=None)

Bases: object

Parameters:

• name – exception class name
• parent – optional parent class wrapper
• custom_name – an alternative name to give to this exception class at python-side; if omitted, the name of the class in the python module will be the same name as the class in C++ (minus namespace).
• foreign_cpp_namespace – if set, the class is assumed to belong to the given C++ namespace, regardless of the C++ namespace of the python module it will be added to. For instance, this can be useful to wrap std classes, like std::ofstream, without having to create an extra python submodule.
• message_rvalue – if not None, this parameter is a string that contains an rvalue C expression that evaluates to the exception message. The Python % operator will be used to substitute %(EXC)s for the caught exception variable name. The rvalue expression must return a string of type “char const*”, a pointer owned by the exception instance.
