Exception Handling ##################################################################### # The functions described in this chapter will let you handle and # raise Python exceptions. It is important to understand some of # the basics of Python exception handling. It works somewhat like # the Unix errno variable: there is a global indicator (per # thread) of the last error that occurred. Most functions don't # clear this on success, but will set it to indicate the cause of # the error on failure. Most functions also return an error # indicator, usually NULL if they are supposed to return a # pointer, or -1 if they return an integer (exception: the # PyArg_*() functions return 1 for success and 0 for failure). # When a function must fail because some function it called # failed, it generally doesn't set the error indicator; the # function it called already set it. It is responsible for either # handling the error and clearing the exception or returning after # cleaning up any resources it holds (such as object references or # memory allocations); it should not continue normally if it is # not prepared to handle the error. If returning due to an error, # it is important to indicate to the caller that an error has been # set. If the error is not handled or carefully propagated, # additional calls into the Python/C API may not behave as # intended and may fail in mysterious ways. # The error indicator consists of three Python objects # corresponding to the Python variables sys.exc_type, # sys.exc_value and sys.exc_traceback. API functions exist to # interact with the error indicator in various ways. There is a # separate error indicator for each thread. void PyErr_Print() # Print a standard traceback to sys.stderr and clear the error # indicator. Call this function only when the error indicator is # set. (Otherwise it will cause a fatal error!) PyObject* PyErr_Occurred() # Return value: Borrowed reference. # Test whether the error indicator is set. If set, return the # exception type (the first argument to the last call to one of # the PyErr_Set*() functions or to PyErr_Restore()). If not set, # return NULL. You do not own a reference to the return value, so # you do not need to Py_DECREF() it. Note: Do not compare the # return value to a specific exception; use # PyErr_ExceptionMatches() instead, shown below. (The comparison # could easily fail since the exception may be an instance instead # of a class, in the case of a class exception, or it may be a # subclass of the expected exception.) bint PyErr_ExceptionMatches(object exc) # Equivalent to "PyErr_GivenExceptionMatches(PyErr_Occurred(), # exc)". This should only be called when an exception is actually # set; a memory access violation will occur if no exception has # been raised. bint PyErr_GivenExceptionMatches(object given, object exc) # Return true if the given exception matches the exception in # exc. If exc is a class object, this also returns true when given # is an instance of a subclass. If exc is a tuple, all exceptions # in the tuple (and recursively in subtuples) are searched for a # match. If given is NULL, a memory access violation will occur. void PyErr_NormalizeException(PyObject** exc, PyObject** val, PyObject** tb) # Under certain circumstances, the values returned by # PyErr_Fetch() below can be ``unnormalized'', meaning that *exc # is a class object but *val is not an instance of the same # class. This function can be used to instantiate the class in # that case. If the values are already normalized, nothing # happens. The delayed normalization is implemented to improve # performance. void PyErr_Clear() # Clear the error indicator. If the error indicator is not set, there is no effect. void PyErr_Fetch(PyObject** ptype, PyObject** pvalue, PyObject** ptraceback) # Retrieve the error indicator into three variables whose # addresses are passed. If the error indicator is not set, set all # three variables to NULL. If it is set, it will be cleared and # you own a reference to each object retrieved. The value and # traceback object may be NULL even when the type object is # not. Note: This function is normally only used by code that # needs to handle exceptions or by code that needs to save and # restore the error indicator temporarily. void PyErr_Restore(PyObject* type, PyObject* value, PyObject* traceback) # Set the error indicator from the three objects. If the error # indicator is already set, it is cleared first. If the objects # are NULL, the error indicator is cleared. Do not pass a NULL # type and non-NULL value or traceback. The exception type should # be a class. Do not pass an invalid exception type or # value. (Violating these rules will cause subtle problems later.) # This call takes away a reference to each object: you must own a # reference to each object before the call and after the call you # no longer own these references. (If you don't understand this, # don't use this function. I warned you.) Note: This function is # normally only used by code that needs to save and restore the # error indicator temporarily; use PyErr_Fetch() to save the # current exception state. void PyErr_SetString(object type, char *message) # This is the most common way to set the error indicator. The # first argument specifies the exception type; it is normally one # of the standard exceptions, e.g. PyExc_RuntimeError. You need # not increment its reference count. The second argument is an # error message; it is converted to a string object. void PyErr_SetObject(object type, object value) # This function is similar to PyErr_SetString() but lets you # specify an arbitrary Python object for the ``value'' of the # exception. PyObject* PyErr_Format(object exception, char *format, ...) except NULL # Return value: Always NULL. # This function sets the error indicator and returns # NULL. exception should be a Python exception (class, not an # instance). format should be a string, containing format codes, # similar to printf(). The width.precision before a format code is # parsed, but the width part is ignored. void PyErr_SetNone(object type) # This is a shorthand for "PyErr_SetObject(type, Py_None)". int PyErr_BadArgument() except 0 # This is a shorthand for "PyErr_SetString(PyExc_TypeError, # message)", where message indicates that a built-in operation was # invoked with an illegal argument. It is mostly for internal use. PyObject* PyErr_NoMemory() except NULL # Return value: Always NULL. # This is a shorthand for "PyErr_SetNone(PyExc_MemoryError)"; it # returns NULL so an object allocation function can write "return # PyErr_NoMemory();" when it runs out of memory. PyObject* PyErr_SetFromErrno(object type) except NULL # Return value: Always NULL. # This is a convenience function to raise an exception when a C # library function has returned an error and set the C variable # errno. It constructs a tuple object whose first item is the # integer errno value and whose second item is the corresponding # error message (gotten from strerror()), and then calls # "PyErr_SetObject(type, object)". On Unix, when the errno value # is EINTR, indicating an interrupted system call, this calls # PyErr_CheckSignals(), and if that set the error indicator, # leaves it set to that. The function always returns NULL, so a # wrapper function around a system call can write "return # PyErr_SetFromErrno(type);" when the system call returns an # error. PyObject* PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilename(object type, char *filename) except NULL # Return value: Always NULL. Similar to PyErr_SetFromErrno(), # with the additional behavior that if filename is not NULL, it is # passed to the constructor of type as a third parameter. In the # case of exceptions such as IOError and OSError, this is used to # define the filename attribute of the exception instance. PyObject* PyErr_SetFromWindowsErr(int ierr) except NULL # Return value: Always NULL. This is a convenience function to # raise WindowsError. If called with ierr of 0, the error code # returned by a call to GetLastError() is used instead. It calls # the Win32 function FormatMessage() to retrieve the Windows # description of error code given by ierr or GetLastError(), then # it constructs a tuple object whose first item is the ierr value # and whose second item is the corresponding error message (gotten # from FormatMessage()), and then calls # "PyErr_SetObject(PyExc_WindowsError, object)". This function # always returns NULL. Availability: Windows. PyObject* PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErr(object type, int ierr) except NULL # Return value: Always NULL. Similar to # PyErr_SetFromWindowsErr(), with an additional parameter # specifying the exception type to be raised. Availability: # Windows. New in version 2.3. PyObject* PyErr_SetFromWindowsErrWithFilename(int ierr, char *filename) except NULL # Return value: Always NULL. Similar to # PyErr_SetFromWindowsErr(), with the additional behavior that if # filename is not NULL, it is passed to the constructor of # WindowsError as a third parameter. Availability: Windows. PyObject* PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErrWithFilename(object type, int ierr, char *filename) except NULL # Return value: Always NULL. # Similar to PyErr_SetFromWindowsErrWithFilename(), with an # additional parameter specifying the exception type to be # raised. Availability: Windows. void PyErr_BadInternalCall() # This is a shorthand for "PyErr_SetString(PyExc_TypeError, # message)", where message indicates that an internal operation # (e.g. a Python/C API function) was invoked with an illegal # argument. It is mostly for internal use. int PyErr_WarnEx(object category, char *message, int stacklevel) except -1 # Issue a warning message. The category argument is a warning # category (see below) or NULL; the message argument is a message # string. stacklevel is a positive number giving a number of stack # frames; the warning will be issued from the currently executing # line of code in that stack frame. A stacklevel of 1 is the # function calling PyErr_WarnEx(), 2 is the function above that, # and so forth. int PyErr_WarnExplicit(object category, char *message, char *filename, int lineno, char *module, object registry) except -1 # Issue a warning message with explicit control over all warning # attributes. This is a straightforward wrapper around the Python # function warnings.warn_explicit(), see there for more # information. The module and registry arguments may be set to # NULL to get the default effect described there. int PyErr_CheckSignals() except -1 # This function interacts with Python's signal handling. It checks # whether a signal has been sent to the processes and if so, # invokes the corresponding signal handler. If the signal module # is supported, this can invoke a signal handler written in # Python. In all cases, the default effect for SIGINT is to raise # the KeyboardInterrupt exception. If an exception is raised the # error indicator is set and the function returns 1; otherwise the # function returns 0. The error indicator may or may not be # cleared if it was previously set. void PyErr_SetInterrupt() nogil # This function simulates the effect of a SIGINT signal arriving # -- the next time PyErr_CheckSignals() is called, # KeyboardInterrupt will be raised. It may be called without # holding the interpreter lock. object PyErr_NewException(char *name, object base, object dict) # Return value: New reference. # This utility function creates and returns a new exception # object. The name argument must be the name of the new exception, # a C string of the form module.class. The base and dict arguments # are normally NULL. This creates a class object derived from # Exception (accessible in C as PyExc_Exception). void PyErr_WriteUnraisable(object obj) # This utility function prints a warning message to sys.stderr # when an exception has been set but it is impossible for the # interpreter to actually raise the exception. It is used, for # example, when an exception occurs in an __del__() method. # # The function is called with a single argument obj that # identifies the context in which the unraisable exception # occurred. The repr of obj will be printed in the warning # message.
