[C++-sig] Exception Handling - What class is thrown?

[Pierre Barbier de Reuille]

If you look at the tutorial here :

http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/tutorial/doc/html/python/embedding.html

You'll read that the exception thrown is "error_already_set".
For further details about the Python exception you'll need to use the 
CPython functions.
