Hello If I have an extension module and want to use an exception I can do by declaring the exception as "extern PyObject *PyExc_FooError" in the object files if I then link those together inside a module where the module has them declared the same (but no extern) and then initialises them in the PyMODINIT_FUNC using PyErr_NewException.
What I can't work out however is how to then be able to raise this exception in another extension module. Just defining it as "extern" doesn't work, even if I make sure the first module -that creates the exception- gets loaded first. Because the symbol is defined in the first extension module the dynamic linker can't find it as it only seems to look in the main python executable for symbols used in dlloaded sofiles. Does anyone have an idea of how you can do this? Thanks Floris -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
