Exception handling
-
I have been working with pyside for a while now and am very happy with the result ... however there is one thing that takes a lot of time: finding bugs when Qt (C++) throws an exception. This basically leads to a program crash with no indication of what went wrong. Sometimes i just go back to an earlier version and restart.
Does anyone know of an initiative to translate C++ exceptions in Qt to Python exceptions? This would be a huge help and remove one of the weakest points in Pyside (in my humble opinion).

Qt doesn't throw exceptions. Qt usually asserts when something can go really wrong. Can't catch termination caused by failing asserts, as far as I know. The program is probably in an invalid state, so it's a good thing it's being brought down.
What's the specific code situation where this happens?

No problem with it being brought down, just want to be able to hunt down the errors somewhat quickly, e.g. via an exception call-stack and message, not by stepping through/into code untill something goes wrong.
Currently i have an occasional crash on start-up; when i find the code where it happens, i am as far as i would have been with a call_stack and could probably solve the error quickly enough.
