[New-bugs-announce] [issue38920] Audit events for unhandled exceptions

[Steve Dower]

New submission from Steve Dower <steve.dower at python.org>:

We currently have no audit events for unhandled exceptions.

While these can be recorded by sys.excepthook or sys.unraisablehook in Python code, there is no way to intercept them from C code set up before running Python code. There's also no way to collect information about what hook is running, in the case where Python code may have overridden it (for example, to suppress error reporting when malicious code fails).
