Python tracebacks only contain line/file information about Python
files, not C files.  Here you raise an exception with a C statement,
and catch and print it in the very next line.  The exception doesn't
exit from Python code so there are no lines to print.

What line/file data you do expect to see?

If you want to see C line/file informnation you have to use a debugger
like gdb, as Steve Holden said.
