<p>
All C++ exceptions must be caught at the boundary with Python code. This
boundary is the point where C++ meets Python. Boost.Python provides a
default exception handler that translates selected standard exceptions,
then gives up:</p>
<code><pre>
<span class=identifier>raise </span><span class=identifier>RuntimeError</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=literal>'unidentifiable C++ Exception'
</span></pre></code>
<p>
Users may provide custom translation. Here's an example:</p>
<code><pre>
<span class=keyword>struct </span><span class=identifier>PodBayDoorException</span><span class=special>;
</span><span class=keyword>void </span><span class=identifier>translator</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=identifier>PodBayDoorException </span><span class=keyword>const</span><span class=special>&amp; </span><span class=identifier>x</span><span class=special>) {
</span><span class=identifier>PyErr_SetString</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=identifier>PyExc_UserWarning</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=string>&quot;I'm sorry Dave...&quot;</span><span class=special>);
}
</span><span class=identifier>BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=identifier>kubrick</span><span class=special>) {
</span><span class=identifier>register_exception_translator</span><span class=special>&lt;
</span><span class=identifier>PodBayDoorException</span><span class=special>&gt;(</span><span class=identifier>translator</span><span class=special>);
...
</span></pre></code>
