The functions described in this chapter will let you handle and raise Python
exceptions. It is important to understand some of the basics of Python
exception handling. It works somewhat like the POSIX errno
variable:
there is a global indicator (per thread) of the last error that occurred. Most
C API functions don’t clear this on success, but will set it to indicate the
cause of the error on failure. Most C API functions also return an error
indicator, usually NULL
if they are supposed to return a pointer, or -1
if they return an integer (exception: the PyArg_*()
functions
return 1
for success and 0
for failure).
Concretely, the error indicator consists of three object pointers: the
exception’s type, the exception’s value, and the traceback object. Any
of those pointers can be NULL
if non-set (although some combinations are
forbidden, for example you can’t have a non-NULL
traceback if the exception
type is NULL
).
When a function must fail because some function it called failed, it generally doesn’t set the error indicator; the function it called already set it. It is responsible for either handling the error and clearing the exception or returning after cleaning up any resources it holds (such as object references or memory allocations); it should not continue normally if it is not prepared to handle the error. If returning due to an error, it is important to indicate to the caller that an error has been set. If the error is not handled or carefully propagated, additional calls into the Python/C API may not behave as intended and may fail in mysterious ways.
Note
The error indicator is not the result of sys.exc_info()
.
The former corresponds to an exception that is not yet caught (and is
therefore still propagating), while the latter returns an exception after
it is caught (and has therefore stopped propagating).
PyErr_Clear
()PyErr_PrintEx
(int set_sys_last_vars)Print a standard traceback to sys.stderr
and clear the error indicator.
Unless the error is a SystemExit
, in that case no traceback is
printed and the Python process will exit with the error code specified by
the SystemExit
instance.
Call this function only when the error indicator is set. Otherwise it will cause a fatal error!
If set_sys_last_vars is nonzero, the variables sys.last_type
,
sys.last_value
and sys.last_traceback
will be set to the
type, value and traceback of the printed exception, respectively.
PyErr_Print
()PyErr_PrintEx(1)
.PyErr_WriteUnraisable
(PyObject *obj)Call sys.unraisablehook()
using the current exception and obj
argument.
This utility function prints a warning message to sys.stderr
when an
exception has been set but it is impossible for the interpreter to actually
raise the exception. It is used, for example, when an exception occurs in an
__del__()
method.
The function is called with a single argument obj that identifies the context in which the unraisable exception occurred. If possible, the repr of obj will be printed in the warning message.
An exception must be set when calling this function.
These functions help you set the current thread’s error indicator.
For convenience, some of these functions will always return a
NULL
pointer for use in a return
statement.
PyErr_SetString
(PyObject *type, const char *message)PyExc_RuntimeError
. You need not increment its reference count. The second argument is an error message; it is decoded from 'utf-8
’.PyErr_SetObject
(PyObject *type, PyObject *value)PyErr_SetString()
but lets you specify an arbitrary Python object for the “value” of the exception.PyErr_Format
(PyObject *exception, const char *format, ...)Return value: Always NULL.
This function sets the error indicator and returns NULL
. exception
should be a Python exception class. The format and subsequent
parameters help format the error message; they have the same meaning and
values as in PyUnicode_FromFormat()
. format is an ASCII-encoded
string.
PyErr_FormatV
(PyObject *exception, const char *format, va_list vargs)Return value: Always NULL.
Same as PyErr_Format()
, but taking a va_list
argument rather
than a variable number of arguments.
New in version 3.5.
PyErr_SetNone
(PyObject *type)PyErr_SetObject(type, Py_None)
.PyErr_BadArgument
()PyErr_SetString(PyExc_TypeError, message)
, where message indicates that a built-in operation was invoked with an illegal argument. It is mostly for internal use.PyErr_NoMemory
()Return value: Always NULL.
This is a shorthand for PyErr_SetNone(PyExc_MemoryError)
; it returns NULL
so an object allocation function can write return PyErr_NoMemory();
when it
runs out of memory.
PyErr_SetFromErrno
(PyObject *type)Return value: Always NULL.
This is a convenience function to raise an exception when a C library function
has returned an error and set the C variable errno
. It constructs a
tuple object whose first item is the integer errno
value and whose
second item is the corresponding error message (gotten from strerror()
),
and then calls PyErr_SetObject(type, object)
. On Unix, when the
errno
value is EINTR
, indicating an interrupted system call,
this calls PyErr_CheckSignals()
, and if that set the error indicator,
leaves it set to that. The function always returns NULL
, so a wrapper
function around a system call can write return PyErr_SetFromErrno(type);
when the system call returns an error.
PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilenameObject
(PyObject *type, PyObject *filenameObject)Return value: Always NULL.
Similar to PyErr_SetFromErrno()
, with the additional behavior that if
filenameObject is not NULL
, it is passed to the constructor of type as
a third parameter. In the case of OSError
exception,
this is used to define the filename
attribute of the
exception instance.
PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilenameObjects
(PyObject *type, PyObject *filenameObject, PyObject *filenameObject2)Return value: Always NULL.
Similar to PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilenameObject()
, but takes a second
filename object, for raising errors when a function that takes two filenames
fails.
New in version 3.4.
PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilename
(PyObject *type, const char *filename)Return value: Always NULL.
Similar to PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilenameObject()
, but the filename
is given as a C string. filename is decoded from the filesystem encoding
(os.fsdecode()
).
PyErr_SetFromWindowsErr
(int ierr)Return value: Always NULL.
This is a convenience function to raise WindowsError
. If called with
ierr of 0
, the error code returned by a call to GetLastError()
is used instead. It calls the Win32 function FormatMessage()
to retrieve
the Windows description of error code given by ierr or GetLastError()
,
then it constructs a tuple object whose first item is the ierr value and whose
second item is the corresponding error message (gotten from
FormatMessage()
), and then calls PyErr_SetObject(PyExc_WindowsError, object)
. This function always returns NULL
.
Availability: Windows.
PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErr
(PyObject *type, int ierr)Return value: Always NULL.
Similar to PyErr_SetFromWindowsErr()
, with an additional parameter
specifying the exception type to be raised.
Availability: Windows.
PyErr_SetFromWindowsErrWithFilename
(int ierr, const char *filename)Return value: Always NULL.
Similar to PyErr_SetFromWindowsErrWithFilenameObject()
, but the
filename is given as a C string. filename is decoded from the filesystem
encoding (os.fsdecode()
).
Availability: Windows.
PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErrWithFilenameObject
(PyObject *type, int ierr, PyObject *filename)Return value: Always NULL.
Similar to PyErr_SetFromWindowsErrWithFilenameObject()
, with an
additional parameter specifying the exception type to be raised.
Availability: Windows.
PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErrWithFilenameObjects
(PyObject *type, int ierr, PyObject *filename, PyObject *filename2)Return value: Always NULL.
Similar to PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErrWithFilenameObject()
,
but accepts a second filename object.
Availability: Windows.
New in version 3.4.
PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErrWithFilename
(PyObject *type, int ierr, const char *filename)Return value: Always NULL.
Similar to PyErr_SetFromWindowsErrWithFilename()
, with an additional
parameter specifying the exception type to be raised.
Availability: Windows.
PyErr_SetImportError
(PyObject *msg, PyObject *name, PyObject *path)Return value: Always NULL.
This is a convenience function to raise ImportError
. msg will be
set as the exception’s message string. name and path, both of which can
be NULL
, will be set as the ImportError
’s respective name
and path
attributes.
New in version 3.3.
PyErr_SyntaxLocationObject
(PyObject *filename, int lineno, int col_offset)Set file, line, and offset information for the current exception. If the
current exception is not a SyntaxError
, then it sets additional
attributes, which make the exception printing subsystem think the exception
is a SyntaxError
.
New in version 3.4.
PyErr_SyntaxLocationEx
(const char *filename, int lineno, int col_offset)Like PyErr_SyntaxLocationObject()
, but filename is a byte string
decoded from the filesystem encoding (os.fsdecode()
).
New in version 3.2.
PyErr_SyntaxLocation
(const char *filename, int lineno)PyErr_SyntaxLocationEx()
, but the col_offset parameter is omitted.PyErr_BadInternalCall
()PyErr_SetString(PyExc_SystemError, message)
, where message indicates that an internal operation (e.g. a Python/C API function) was invoked with an illegal argument. It is mostly for internal use.
Use these functions to issue warnings from C code. They mirror similar
functions exported by the Python warnings
module. They normally
print a warning message to sys.stderr; however, it is
also possible that the user has specified that warnings are to be turned into
errors, and in that case they will raise an exception. It is also possible that
the functions raise an exception because of a problem with the warning machinery.
The return value is 0
if no exception is raised, or -1
if an exception
is raised. (It is not possible to determine whether a warning message is
actually printed, nor what the reason is for the exception; this is
intentional.) If an exception is raised, the caller should do its normal
exception handling (for example, Py_DECREF()
owned references and return
an error value).
PyErr_WarnEx
(PyObject *category, const char *message, Py_ssize_t stack_level)Issue a warning message. The category argument is a warning category (see
below) or NULL
; the message argument is a UTF-8 encoded string. stack_level is a
positive number giving a number of stack frames; the warning will be issued from
the currently executing line of code in that stack frame. A stack_level of 1
is the function calling PyErr_WarnEx()
, 2 is the function above that,
and so forth.
Warning categories must be subclasses of PyExc_Warning
;
PyExc_Warning
is a subclass of PyExc_Exception
;
the default warning category is PyExc_RuntimeWarning
. The standard
Python warning categories are available as global variables whose names are
enumerated at Standard Warning Categories.
For information about warning control, see the documentation for the
warnings
module and the -W
option in the command line
documentation. There is no C API for warning control.
PyErr_SetImportErrorSubclass
(PyObject *exception, PyObject *msg, PyObject *name, PyObject *path)Return value: Always NULL.
Much like PyErr_SetImportError()
but this function allows for
specifying a subclass of ImportError
to raise.
New in version 3.6.
PyErr_WarnExplicitObject
(PyObject *category, PyObject *message, PyObject *filename, int lineno, PyObject *module, PyObject *registry)Issue a warning message with explicit control over all warning attributes. This
is a straightforward wrapper around the Python function
warnings.warn_explicit()
, see there for more information. The module
and registry arguments may be set to NULL
to get the default effect
described there.
New in version 3.4.
PyErr_WarnExplicit
(PyObject *category, const char *message, const char *filename, int lineno, const char *module, PyObject *registry)PyErr_WarnExplicitObject()
except that message and module are UTF-8 encoded strings, and filename is decoded from the filesystem encoding (os.fsdecode()
).PyErr_WarnFormat
(PyObject *category, Py_ssize_t stack_level, const char *format, ...)Function similar to PyErr_WarnEx()
, but use
PyUnicode_FromFormat()
to format the warning message. format is
an ASCII-encoded string.
New in version 3.2.
PyErr_ResourceWarning
(PyObject *source, Py_ssize_t stack_level, const char *format, ...)Function similar to PyErr_WarnFormat()
, but category is
ResourceWarning
and it passes source to warnings.WarningMessage()
.
New in version 3.6.
PyErr_Occurred
()Return value: Borrowed reference.
Test whether the error indicator is set. If set, return the exception type
(the first argument to the last call to one of the PyErr_Set*()
functions or to PyErr_Restore()
). If not set, return NULL
. You do not
own a reference to the return value, so you do not need to Py_DECREF()
it.
Note
Do not compare the return value to a specific exception; use
PyErr_ExceptionMatches()
instead, shown below. (The comparison could
easily fail since the exception may be an instance instead of a class, in the
case of a class exception, or it may be a subclass of the expected exception.)
PyErr_ExceptionMatches
(PyObject *exc)PyErr_GivenExceptionMatches(PyErr_Occurred(), exc)
. This should only be called when an exception is actually set; a memory access violation will occur if no exception has been raised.PyErr_GivenExceptionMatches
(PyObject *given, PyObject *exc)PyErr_Fetch
(PyObject **ptype, PyObject **pvalue, PyObject **ptraceback)Retrieve the error indicator into three variables whose addresses are passed.
If the error indicator is not set, set all three variables to NULL
. If it is
set, it will be cleared and you own a reference to each object retrieved. The
value and traceback object may be NULL
even when the type object is not.
Note
This function is normally only used by code that needs to catch exceptions or by code that needs to save and restore the error indicator temporarily, e.g.:
{
PyObject *type, *value, *traceback;
PyErr_Fetch(&type, &value, &traceback);
/* ... code that might produce other errors ... */
PyErr_Restore(type, value, traceback);
}
PyErr_Restore
(PyObject *type, PyObject *value, PyObject *traceback)Set the error indicator from the three objects. If the error indicator is
already set, it is cleared first. If the objects are NULL
, the error
indicator is cleared. Do not pass a NULL
type and non-NULL
value or
traceback. The exception type should be a class. Do not pass an invalid
exception type or value. (Violating these rules will cause subtle problems
later.) This call takes away a reference to each object: you must own a
reference to each object before the call and after the call you no longer own
these references. (If you don’t understand this, don’t use this function. I
warned you.)
Note
This function is normally only used by code that needs to save and restore the
error indicator temporarily. Use PyErr_Fetch()
to save the current
error indicator.
PyErr_NormalizeException
(PyObject**exc, PyObject**val, PyObject**tb)Under certain circumstances, the values returned by PyErr_Fetch()
below
can be “unnormalized”, meaning that *exc
is a class object but *val
is
not an instance of the same class. This function can be used to instantiate
the class in that case. If the values are already normalized, nothing happens.
The delayed normalization is implemented to improve performance.
Note
This function does not implicitly set the __traceback__
attribute on the exception value. If setting the traceback
appropriately is desired, the following additional snippet is needed:
if (tb != NULL) {
PyException_SetTraceback(val, tb);
}
PyErr_GetExcInfo
(PyObject **ptype, PyObject **pvalue, PyObject **ptraceback)Retrieve the exception info, as known from sys.exc_info()
. This refers
to an exception that was already caught, not to an exception that was
freshly raised. Returns new references for the three objects, any of which
may be NULL
. Does not modify the exception info state.
Note
This function is not normally used by code that wants to handle exceptions.
Rather, it can be used when code needs to save and restore the exception
state temporarily. Use PyErr_SetExcInfo()
to restore or clear the
exception state.
New in version 3.3.
PyErr_SetExcInfo
(PyObject *type, PyObject *value, PyObject *traceback)Set the exception info, as known from sys.exc_info()
. This refers
to an exception that was already caught, not to an exception that was
freshly raised. This function steals the references of the arguments.
To clear the exception state, pass NULL
for all three arguments.
For general rules about the three arguments, see PyErr_Restore()
.
Note
This function is not normally used by code that wants to handle exceptions.
Rather, it can be used when code needs to save and restore the exception
state temporarily. Use PyErr_GetExcInfo()
to read the exception
state.
New in version 3.3.
PyErr_CheckSignals
()signal
module is supported, this can invoke a signal handler written in Python. In all cases, the default effect for SIGINT
is to raise the KeyboardInterrupt
exception. If an exception is raised the error indicator is set and the function returns -1
; otherwise the function returns 0
. The error indicator may or may not be cleared if it was previously set.PyErr_SetInterrupt
()Simulate the effect of a SIGINT
signal arriving. The next time
PyErr_CheckSignals()
is called, the Python signal handler for
SIGINT
will be called.
If SIGINT
isn’t handled by Python (it was set to
signal.SIG_DFL
or signal.SIG_IGN
), this function does
nothing.
PySignal_SetWakeupFd
(int fd)This utility function specifies a file descriptor to which the signal number is written as a single byte whenever a signal is received. fd must be non-blocking. It returns the previous such file descriptor.
The value -1
disables the feature; this is the initial state.
This is equivalent to signal.set_wakeup_fd()
in Python, but without any
error checking. fd should be a valid file descriptor. The function should
only be called from the main thread.
Changed in version 3.5: On Windows, the function now also supports socket handles.
PyErr_NewException
(const char *name, PyObject *base, PyObject *dict)Return value: New reference.
This utility function creates and returns a new exception class. The name
argument must be the name of the new exception, a C string of the form
module.classname
. The base and dict arguments are normally NULL
.
This creates a class object derived from Exception
(accessible in C as
PyExc_Exception
).
The __module__
attribute of the new class is set to the first part (up
to the last dot) of the name argument, and the class name is set to the last
part (after the last dot). The base argument can be used to specify alternate
base classes; it can either be only one class or a tuple of classes. The dict
argument can be used to specify a dictionary of class variables and methods.
PyErr_NewExceptionWithDoc
(const char *name, const char *doc, PyObject *base, PyObject *dict)Return value: New reference.
Same as PyErr_NewException()
, except that the new exception class can
easily be given a docstring: If doc is non-NULL
, it will be used as the
docstring for the exception class.
New in version 3.2.
PyException_GetTraceback
(PyObject *ex)Return value: New reference.
Return the traceback associated with the exception as a new reference, as
accessible from Python through __traceback__
. If there is no
traceback associated, this returns NULL
.
PyException_SetTraceback
(PyObject *ex, PyObject *tb)Py_None
to clear it.PyException_GetContext
(PyObject *ex)Return value: New reference.
Return the context (another exception instance during whose handling ex was
raised) associated with the exception as a new reference, as accessible from
Python through __context__
. If there is no context associated, this
returns NULL
.
PyException_SetContext
(PyObject *ex, PyObject *ctx)NULL
to clear it. There is no type check to make sure that ctx is an exception instance. This steals a reference to ctx.PyException_GetCause
(PyObject *ex)Return value: New reference.
Return the cause (either an exception instance, or None
,
set by raise ... from ...
) associated with the exception as a new
reference, as accessible from Python through __cause__
.
PyException_SetCause
(PyObject *ex, PyObject *cause)Set the cause associated with the exception to cause. Use NULL
to clear
it. There is no type check to make sure that cause is either an exception
instance or None
. This steals a reference to cause.
__suppress_context__
is implicitly set to True
by this function.
The following functions are used to create and modify Unicode exceptions from C.
PyUnicodeDecodeError_Create
(const char *encoding, const char *object, Py_ssize_t length, Py_ssize_t start, Py_ssize_t end, const char *reason)Return value: New reference.
Create a UnicodeDecodeError
object with the attributes encoding,
object, length, start, end and reason. encoding and reason are
UTF-8 encoded strings.
PyUnicodeEncodeError_Create
(const char *encoding, const Py_UNICODE *object, Py_ssize_t length, Py_ssize_t start, Py_ssize_t end, const char *reason)Return value: New reference.
Create a UnicodeEncodeError
object with the attributes encoding,
object, length, start, end and reason. encoding and reason are
UTF-8 encoded strings.
Deprecated since version 3.3: 3.11
Py_UNICODE
is deprecated since Python 3.3. Please migrate to
PyObject_CallFunction(PyExc_UnicodeEncodeError, "sOnns", ...)
.
PyUnicodeTranslateError_Create
(const Py_UNICODE *object, Py_ssize_t length, Py_ssize_t start, Py_ssize_t end, const char *reason)Return value: New reference.
Create a UnicodeTranslateError
object with the attributes object,
length, start, end and reason. reason is a UTF-8 encoded string.
Deprecated since version 3.3: 3.11
Py_UNICODE
is deprecated since Python 3.3. Please migrate to
PyObject_CallFunction(PyExc_UnicodeTranslateError, "Onns", ...)
.
PyUnicodeDecodeError_GetEncoding
(PyObject *exc)PyUnicodeEncodeError_GetEncoding
(PyObject *exc)Return value: New reference.
Return the encoding attribute of the given exception object.
PyUnicodeDecodeError_GetObject
(PyObject *exc)PyUnicodeEncodeError_GetObject
(PyObject *exc)PyUnicodeTranslateError_GetObject
(PyObject *exc)Return value: New reference.
Return the object attribute of the given exception object.
PyUnicodeDecodeError_GetStart
(PyObject *exc, Py_ssize_t *start)int PyUnicodeEncodeError_GetStart
(PyObject *exc, Py_ssize_t *start)
int PyUnicodeTranslateError_GetStart
(PyObject *exc, Py_ssize_t *start)

(PyObject *exc, Py_ssize_t end)int PyUnicodeEncodeError_SetEnd
(PyObject *exc, Py_ssize_t end)
int PyUnicodeTranslateError_SetEnd

(PyObject *exc)PyUnicodeEncodeError_GetReason
(PyObject *exc)PyUnicodeTranslateError_GetReason
(PyObject *exc)Return value: New reference.
Return the reason attribute of the given exception object.
PyUnicodeDecodeError_SetReason
(PyObject *exc, const char *reason)int PyUnicodeEncodeError_SetReason
(PyObject *exc, const char *reason)
int PyUnicodeTranslateError_SetReason
(PyObject *exc, const char *reason)
0
on success, -1

These two functions provide a way to perform safe recursive calls at the C level, both in the core and in extension modules. They are needed if the recursive code does not necessarily invoke Python code (which tracks its recursion depth automatically).
Py_EnterRecursiveCall
(const char *where)Marks a point where a recursive C-level call is about to be performed.
If USE_STACKCHECK
is defined, this function checks if the OS
stack overflowed using PyOS_CheckStack()
. In this is the case, it
sets a MemoryError
and returns a nonzero value.
The function then checks if the recursion limit is reached. If this is the
case, a RecursionError
is set and a nonzero value is returned.
Otherwise, zero is returned.
where should be a string such as " in instance check"
to be
concatenated to the RecursionError
message caused by the recursion
depth limit.
Py_LeaveRecursiveCall
()Py_EnterRecursiveCall()
. Must be called once for each successful invocation of Py_EnterRecursiveCall()
.Properly implementing tp_repr
for container types requires
special recursion handling. In addition to protecting the stack,
tp_repr
also needs to track objects to prevent cycles. The
following two functions facilitate this functionality. Effectively,
these are the C equivalent to reprlib.recursive_repr()
.
Py_ReprEnter
(PyObject *object)Called at the beginning of the tp_repr
implementation to
detect cycles.
If the object has already been processed, the function returns a
positive integer. In that case the tp_repr
implementation
should return a string object indicating a cycle. As examples,
dict
objects return {...}
and list
objects
return [...]
.
The function will return a negative integer if the recursion limit
is reached. In that case the tp_repr
implementation should
typically return NULL
.
Otherwise, the function returns zero and the tp_repr
implementation can continue normally.
Py_ReprLeave
(PyObject *object)Py_ReprEnter()
. Must be called once for each invocation of Py_ReprEnter()
that returns zero.
All standard Python exceptions are available as global variables whose names are
PyExc_
