ctypes and DLL exceptions

[Uri Nix]

Hi all,

Is there a method to deal with exceptions originating from a DLL
creatively?

After experimentation, I've observed that calling a ctypes wrapped
DLL exception raises WindowsError, and an accompanying code. Does the
code mean something? Can I throw an object from C++ and somehow catch
it in Python?

Cheers,
