http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/v2/exception_translator.html
gets it right.


Hmm.  Do me a favor, please.  In exception_translator.hpp, change:

  template <class ExceptionType, class Translate>
  void register_exception_translator(Translate const& translate, boost::type<ExceptionType>* = 0)
                                               ^^^^^^
to:

  template <class ExceptionType, class Translate>
  void register_exception_translator(Translate translate, boost::type<ExceptionType>* = 0)

and try your example again.  I expect it works, and if so I'm inclined
to change the signature of register_exception_translator.
