tracebacks in embedded python

[=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Mike_M=FCller?=]

When I embed Python into C there is no traceback message on the screen
after an uncaught exception. Using sys.exc_info() I can print may own
traceback but I would need to insert try except statements at
different places. Is there a way to "turn on" traceback writing to
std.err (that also shows up at the screen)?

Thanks

Mike

You should check the return value of the Python API call for failure.
Most functions return NULL or -1 on error.
Then you call PyErr_Print().
