Thanks for your hints ...

The interesting part is "Call python code". In my example this is done
with PyRun_SimpleString which does not return if an exception is not
handled but raised "out of" the interpreter. So I am unsure of what you
mean with "Call python code".

When installing an excepthook (see my other posting), then I can indeed
catch all exceptions ... except for SystemExit which is the one I'm
after.
