I recently spent some time on this issue. I was supposed to expose library
defined exceptions and make them play well with "try-except" functionality.
I found that it is not possible to create Python class which derives from
Boost.Python exposed class and Exception. I've got TypeError: "Error when
calling the metaclass bases multiple bases have instance lay-out conflict".
So I doubt this issue could be solved on C++ level too. Fortunately I found
pretty simple( for my case ) work around:
http://language-binding.net/pyplusplus/troubleshooting_guide/exceptions/exceptions.html
. The page also contains full source code and unit tests.

Let me know if this helped you.
