Getting the error in embedded python

[Mark Hammond]

I believe you will find that PyRun_SimpleString() actually detects the
error, and calls PyErr_Print(), which clears the error.  You may not
be seeing the traceback as your app does not have a decent stdout
setup.

You have the Python sources - you can confirm this for yourself.

You probably want to use the lower level calls - PyEval_CallObject
etc.
