So if I introduce something like...
%ExceptionType MyException
%TypeHeaderCode
#include <whatever>
%End
%ConvertFromTypeCode
// C++ code to return a PyObject instance of the exception.
// sipCpp (the C++ poiter) and sipException_MyException (the
// PyObject exception type) will be available, eg...
return PyObject_CallFunction(sipException_MyException, "S",
sipCpp->what());
%End
%End
...that has the same effect as your code above.

...and generate the above code automatically, then that gives you what you
want? If MyException isn't defined then it reverts to the current
behaviour.
