I don't think so. You are throwing a C++ exception, nobody is catching it,  
and the program aborts. (Python exceptions are handled in a very different  
way, see the Python/C API Reference)
You should investigate why you can't import the module. Is the name  
correct? (You didn't check the result from PyString_FromString). Is  
sys.path correct? Can you import the module from a pure Python script?
