PEP 683 (immortal objects) revealed some ways in which the Python documentation has been unnecessarily coupled to the implementation details of reference counts. In the end users should focus on reference ownership, including taking references and releasing them, rather than on how many reference counts an object has. This change updates the documentation to reflect that perspective. It also updates the docs relative to immortal objects in a handful of places.

Exception Handling
|
|
******************
|
|
|
|
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 :c:data:`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 :func:`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).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Printing and clearing
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void PyErr_Clear()
|
|
|
|
Clear the error indicator. If the error indicator is not set, there is no
|
|
effect.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void 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 variable :data:`sys.last_exc` is
|
|
set to the printed exception. For backwards compatibility, the
|
|
deprecated variables :data:`sys.last_type`, :data:`sys.last_value` and
|
|
:data:`sys.last_traceback` are also set to the type, value and traceback
|
|
of this exception, respectively.
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 3.12
|
|
The setting of :data:`sys.last_exc` was added.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void PyErr_Print()
|
|
|
|
Alias for ``PyErr_PrintEx(1)``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void PyErr_WriteUnraisable(PyObject *obj)
|
|
|
|
Call :func:`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
|
|
:meth:`~object.__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.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void PyErr_DisplayException(PyObject *exc)
|
|
|
|
Print the standard traceback display of ``exc`` to ``sys.stderr``, including
|
|
chained exceptions and notes.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.12
|
|
|
|
Raising exceptions
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void PyErr_SetString(PyObject *type, const char *message)
|
|
|
|
This is the most common way to set the error indicator. The first argument
|
|
specifies the exception type; it is normally one of the standard exceptions,
|
|
e.g. :c:data:`PyExc_RuntimeError`. You need not create a new
|
|
:term:`strong reference` to it (e.g. with :c:func:`Py_INCREF`).
|
|
The second argument is an error message; it is decoded from ``'utf-8'``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void PyErr_SetObject(PyObject *type, PyObject *value)
|
|
|
|
This function is similar to :c:func:`PyErr_SetString` but lets you specify an
|
|
arbitrary Python object for the "value" of the exception.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyErr_Format(PyObject *exception, const char *format, ...)
|
|
|
|
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 :c:func:`PyUnicode_FromFormat`. *format* is an ASCII-encoded
|
|
string.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyErr_FormatV(PyObject *exception, const char *format, va_list vargs)
|
|
|
|
Same as :c:func:`PyErr_Format`, but taking a :c:type:`va_list` argument rather
|
|
than a variable number of arguments.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.5
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void PyErr_SetNone(PyObject *type)
|
|
|
|
This is a shorthand for ``PyErr_SetObject(type, Py_None)``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyErr_BadArgument()
|
|
|
|
This is a shorthand for ``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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyErr_NoMemory()
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyErr_SetFromErrno(PyObject *type)
|
|
|
|
.. index:: single: strerror()
|
|
|
|
This is a convenience function to raise an exception when a C library function
|
|
has returned an error and set the C variable :c:data:`errno`. It constructs a
|
|
tuple object whose first item is the integer :c:data:`errno` value and whose
|
|
second item is the corresponding error message (gotten from :c:func:`!strerror`),
|
|
and then calls ``PyErr_SetObject(type, object)``. On Unix, when the
|
|
:c:data:`errno` value is :c:macro:`!EINTR`, indicating an interrupted system call,
|
|
this calls :c:func:`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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilenameObject(PyObject *type, PyObject *filenameObject)
|
|
|
|
Similar to :c:func:`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 :exc:`OSError` exception,
|
|
this is used to define the :attr:`!filename` attribute of the
|
|
exception instance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilenameObjects(PyObject *type, PyObject *filenameObject, PyObject *filenameObject2)
|
|
|
|
Similar to :c:func:`PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilenameObject`, but takes a second
|
|
filename object, for raising errors when a function that takes two filenames
|
|
fails.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.4
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilename(PyObject *type, const char *filename)
|
|
|
|
Similar to :c:func:`PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilenameObject`, but the filename
|
|
is given as a C string. *filename* is decoded from the :term:`filesystem
|
|
encoding and error handler`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyErr_SetFromWindowsErr(int ierr)
|
|
|
|
This is a convenience function to raise :exc:`WindowsError`. If called with
|
|
*ierr* of ``0``, the error code returned by a call to :c:func:`!GetLastError`
|
|
is used instead. It calls the Win32 function :c:func:`!FormatMessage` to retrieve
|
|
the Windows description of error code given by *ierr* or :c:func:`!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
|
|
:c:func:`!FormatMessage`), and then calls ``PyErr_SetObject(PyExc_WindowsError,
|
|
object)``. This function always returns ``NULL``.
|
|
|

.. availability:: Windows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErr(PyObject *type, int ierr)
|
|
|
|
Similar to :c:func:`PyErr_SetFromWindowsErr`, with an additional parameter
|
|
specifying the exception type to be raised.
|
|
|
|
.. availability:: Windows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyErr_SetFromWindowsErrWithFilename(int ierr, const char *filename)
|
|
|
|
Similar to :c:func:`PyErr_SetFromWindowsErrWithFilenameObject`, but the
|
|
filename is given as a C string. *filename* is decoded from the filesystem
|
|
encoding (:func:`os.fsdecode`).
|
|
|
|
.. availability:: Windows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErrWithFilenameObject(PyObject *type, int ierr, PyObject *filename)
|
|
|
|
Similar to :c:func:`PyErr_SetFromWindowsErrWithFilenameObject`, with an
|
|
additional parameter specifying the exception type to be raised.
|
|
|
|
.. availability:: Windows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErrWithFilenameObjects(PyObject *type, int ierr, PyObject *filename, PyObject *filename2)
|
|
|
|
Similar to :c:func:`PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErrWithFilenameObject`,
|
|
but accepts a second filename object.
|
|
|
|
.. availability:: Windows.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.4
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErrWithFilename(PyObject *type, int ierr, const char *filename)
|
|
|
|
Similar to :c:func:`PyErr_SetFromWindowsErrWithFilename`, with an additional
|
|
parameter specifying the exception type to be raised.
|
|
|
|
.. availability:: Windows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyErr_SetImportError(PyObject *msg, PyObject *name, PyObject *path)
|
|
|
|
This is a convenience function to raise :exc:`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 :exc:`ImportError`'s respective ``name``
|
|
and ``path`` attributes.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.3
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyErr_SetImportErrorSubclass(PyObject *exception, PyObject *msg, PyObject *name, PyObject *path)
|
|
|
|
Much like :c:func:`PyErr_SetImportError` but this function allows for
|
|
specifying a subclass of :exc:`ImportError` to raise.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.6
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void 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 :exc:`SyntaxError`, then it sets additional
|
|
attributes, which make the exception printing subsystem think the exception
|
|
is a :exc:`SyntaxError`.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.4
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void PyErr_SyntaxLocationEx(const char *filename, int lineno, int col_offset)
|
|
|
|
Like :c:func:`PyErr_SyntaxLocationObject`, but *filename* is a byte string
|
|
decoded from the :term:`filesystem encoding and error handler`.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.2
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void PyErr_SyntaxLocation(const char *filename, int lineno)
|
|
|
|
Like :c:func:`PyErr_SyntaxLocationEx`, but the *col_offset* parameter is
|
|
omitted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void PyErr_BadInternalCall()
|
|
|
|
This is a shorthand for ``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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Issuing warnings
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Use these functions to issue warnings from C code. They mirror similar
|
|
functions exported by the Python :mod:`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, :c:func:`Py_DECREF` owned references and return
|
|
an error value).
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int 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 :c:func:`PyErr_WarnEx`, 2 is the function above that,
|
|
and so forth.
|
|
|
|
Warning categories must be subclasses of :c:data:`PyExc_Warning`;
|
|
:c:data:`PyExc_Warning` is a subclass of :c:data:`PyExc_Exception`;
|
|
the default warning category is :c:data:`PyExc_RuntimeWarning`. The standard
|
|
Python warning categories are available as global variables whose names are
|
|
enumerated at :ref:`standardwarningcategories`.
|
|
|
|
For information about warning control, see the documentation for the
|
|
:mod:`warnings` module and the :option:`-W` option in the command line
|
|
documentation. There is no C API for warning control.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int 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
|
|
:func:`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.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.4
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyErr_WarnExplicit(PyObject *category, const char *message, const char *filename, int lineno, const char *module, PyObject *registry)
|
|
|
|
Similar to :c:func:`PyErr_WarnExplicitObject` except that *message* and
|
|
*module* are UTF-8 encoded strings, and *filename* is decoded from the
|
|
:term:`filesystem encoding and error handler`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyErr_WarnFormat(PyObject *category, Py_ssize_t stack_level, const char *format, ...)
|
|
|
|
Function similar to :c:func:`PyErr_WarnEx`, but use
|
|
:c:func:`PyUnicode_FromFormat` to format the warning message. *format* is
|
|
an ASCII-encoded string.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.2
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyErr_ResourceWarning(PyObject *source, Py_ssize_t stack_level, const char *format, ...)
|
|
|
|
Function similar to :c:func:`PyErr_WarnFormat`, but *category* is
|
|
:exc:`ResourceWarning` and it passes *source* to :func:`warnings.WarningMessage`.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.6
|
|
|
|
|
|
Querying the error indicator
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyErr_Occurred()
|
|
|
|
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 :c:func:`PyErr_Restore`). If not set, return ``NULL``. You do not
|
|
own a reference to the return value, so you do not need to :c:func:`Py_DECREF`
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
The caller must hold the GIL.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Do not compare the return value to a specific exception; use
|
|
:c:func:`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.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyErr_ExceptionMatches(PyObject *exc)
|
|
|
|
Equivalent to ``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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyErr_GivenExceptionMatches(PyObject *given, PyObject *exc)
|
|
|
|
Return true if the *given* exception matches the exception type in *exc*. If
|
|
*exc* is a class object, this also returns true when *given* is an instance
|
|
of a subclass. If *exc* is a tuple, all exception types in the tuple (and
|
|
recursively in subtuples) are searched for a match.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject *PyErr_GetRaisedException(void)
|
|
|
|
Return the exception currently being raised, clearing the error indicator at
|
|
the same time.
|
|
|
|
This function is used by code that needs to catch exceptions,
|
|
or code that needs to save and restore the error indicator temporarily.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
PyObject *exc = PyErr_GetRaisedException();
|
|
|
|
/* ... code that might produce other errors ... */
|
|
|
|
PyErr_SetRaisedException(exc);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
.. seealso:: :c:func:`PyErr_GetHandledException`,
|
|
to save the exception currently being handled.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.12
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void PyErr_SetRaisedException(PyObject *exc)
|
|
|
|
Set *exc* as the exception currently being raised,
|
|
clearing the existing exception if one is set.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
This call steals a reference to *exc*, which must be a valid exception.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.12
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void PyErr_Fetch(PyObject **ptype, PyObject **pvalue, PyObject **ptraceback)
|
|
|
|
.. deprecated:: 3.12
|
|
|
|
Use :c:func:`PyErr_GetRaisedException` instead.
|
|
|
|
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 legacy code that needs to catch
|
|
exceptions or save and restore the error indicator temporarily.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
PyObject *type, *value, *traceback;
|
|
PyErr_Fetch(&type, &value, &traceback);
|
|
|
|
/* ... code that might produce other errors ... */
|
|
|
|
PyErr_Restore(type, value, traceback);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void PyErr_Restore(PyObject *type, PyObject *value, PyObject *traceback)
|
|
|
|
.. deprecated:: 3.12
|
|
|
|
Use :c:func:`PyErr_SetRaisedException` instead.
|
|
|
|
Set the error indicator from the three objects,
|
|
*type*, *value*, and *traceback*,
|
|
clearing the existing exception if one is set.
|
|
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 legacy code that needs to
|
|
save and restore the error indicator temporarily.
|
|
Use :c:func:`PyErr_Fetch` to save the current error indicator.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void PyErr_NormalizeException(PyObject **exc, PyObject **val, PyObject **tb)
|
|
|
|
.. deprecated:: 3.12
|
|
|
|
Use :c:func:`PyErr_GetRaisedException` instead,
|
|
to avoid any possible de-normalization.
|
|
|
|
Under certain circumstances, the values returned by :c:func:`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);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyErr_GetHandledException(void)
|
|
|
|
Retrieve the active exception instance, as would be returned by :func:`sys.exception`.
|
|
This refers to an exception that was *already caught*, not to an exception that was
|
|
freshly raised. Returns a new reference to the exception or ``NULL``.
|
|
Does not modify the interpreter's exception 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 :c:func:`PyErr_SetHandledException` to restore or
|
|
clear the exception state.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.11
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void PyErr_SetHandledException(PyObject *exc)
|
|
|
|
Set the active exception, as known from ``sys.exception()``. This refers
|
|
to an exception that was *already caught*, not to an exception that was

|
Retrieve the old-style representation of the exception info, as known from
|
|
:func:`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
|

|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 3.11
|
|
The ``type`` and ``traceback`` arguments are no longer used and
|
|
can be NULL. The interpreter now derives them from the exception
|
|
instance (the ``value`` argument). The function still steals
|
|
references of all three arguments.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Signal Handling
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyErr_CheckSignals()
|
|
|
|
.. index::
|
|
pair: module; signal
|
|
single: SIGINT
|
|
single: KeyboardInterrupt (built-in exception)
|
|
|
|
This function interacts with Python's signal handling.
|
|
|
|
If the function is called from the main thread and under the main Python
|
|
interpreter, it checks whether a signal has been sent to the processes
|
|
and if so, invokes the corresponding signal handler. If the :mod:`signal`
|
|
module is supported, this can invoke a signal handler written in Python.
|
|
|
|
The function attempts to handle all pending signals, and then returns ``0``.
|
|
However, if a Python signal handler raises an exception, the error
|
|
indicator is set and the function returns ``-1`` immediately (such that
|
|
other pending signals may not have been handled yet: they will be on the
|
|
next :c:func:`PyErr_CheckSignals()` invocation).
|
|
|
|
If the function is called from a non-main thread, or under a non-main
|
|
Python interpreter, it does nothing and returns ``0``.
|
|
|
|
This function can be called by long-running C code that wants to
|
|
be interruptible by user requests (such as by pressing Ctrl-C).
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The default Python signal handler for :c:macro:`!SIGINT` raises the
|
|
:exc:`KeyboardInterrupt` exception.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void PyErr_SetInterrupt()
|
|
|
|
.. index::
|
|
pair: module; signal
|
|
single: SIGINT
|
|
single: KeyboardInterrupt (built-in exception)
|
|
|
|
Simulate the effect of a :c:macro:`!SIGINT` signal arriving.
|
|
This is equivalent to ``PyErr_SetInterruptEx(SIGINT)``.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
This function is async-signal-safe. It can be called without
|
|
the :term:`GIL` and from a C signal handler.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyErr_SetInterruptEx(int signum)
|
|
|
|
.. index::
|
|
pair: module; signal
|
|
single: KeyboardInterrupt (built-in exception)
|
|
|
|
Simulate the effect of a signal arriving. The next time
|
|
:c:func:`PyErr_CheckSignals` is called, the Python signal handler for
|
|
the given signal number will be called.
|
|
|
|
This function can be called by C code that sets up its own signal handling
|
|
and wants Python signal handlers to be invoked as expected when an
|
|
interruption is requested (for example when the user presses Ctrl-C
|
|
to interrupt an operation).
|
|
|
|
If the given signal isn't handled by Python (it was set to
|
|
:py:const:`signal.SIG_DFL` or :py:const:`signal.SIG_IGN`), it will be ignored.
|
|
|
|
If *signum* is outside of the allowed range of signal numbers, ``-1``
|
|
is returned. Otherwise, ``0`` is returned. The error indicator is
|
|
never changed by this function.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
This function is async-signal-safe. It can be called without
|
|
the :term:`GIL` and from a C signal handler.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.10
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int 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 :func:`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.
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 3.5
|
|
On Windows, the function now also supports socket handles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Exception Classes
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyErr_NewException(const char *name, PyObject *base, PyObject *dict)
|
|
|
|
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 :exc:`Exception` (accessible in C as
|
|
:c:data:`PyExc_Exception`).
|
|
|
|
The :attr:`__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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyErr_NewExceptionWithDoc(const char *name, const char *doc, PyObject *base, PyObject *dict)
|
|
|
|
Same as :c:func:`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.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.2
|
|
|
|
|
|
Exception Objects
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyException_GetTraceback(PyObject *ex)
|
|
|
|
Return the traceback associated with the exception as a new reference, as
|
|
accessible from Python through :attr:`__traceback__`. If there is no
|
|
traceback associated, this returns ``NULL``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyException_SetTraceback(PyObject *ex, PyObject *tb)
|
|
|
|
Set the traceback associated with the exception to *tb*. Use ``Py_None`` to
|
|
clear it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyException_GetContext(PyObject *ex)
|
|
|
|
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 :attr:`__context__`. If there is no context associated, this
|
|
returns ``NULL``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void PyException_SetContext(PyObject *ex, PyObject *ctx)
|
|
|
|
Set the context associated with the exception to *ctx*. Use ``NULL`` to clear
|
|
it. There is no type check to make sure that *ctx* is an exception instance.
|
|
This steals a reference to *ctx*.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyException_GetCause(PyObject *ex)
|
|
|
|
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 :attr:`__cause__`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void 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*.
|
|
|
|
:attr:`__suppress_context__` is implicitly set to ``True`` by this function.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyException_GetArgs(PyObject *ex)
|
|
|
|
Return :attr:`~BaseException.args` of exception *ex*.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void PyException_SetArgs(PyObject *ex, PyObject *args)
|
|
|
|
Set :attr:`~BaseException.args` of exception *ex* to *args*.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyUnstable_Exc_PrepReraiseStar(PyObject *orig, PyObject *excs)
|
|
|
|
Implement part of the interpreter's implementation of :keyword:`!except*`.
|
|
*orig* is the original exception that was caught, and *excs* is the list of
|
|
the exceptions that need to be raised. This list contains the the unhandled
|
|
part of *orig*, if any, as well as the exceptions that were raised from the
|
|
:keyword:`!except*` clauses (so they have a different traceback from *orig*) and
|
|
those that were reraised (and have the same traceback as *orig*).
|
|
Return the :exc:`ExceptionGroup` that needs to be reraised in the end, or
|
|
``None`` if there is nothing to reraise.

|
|
|
|
Unicode Exception Objects
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
The following functions are used to create and modify Unicode exceptions from C.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyUnicodeDecodeError_Create(const char *encoding, const char *object, Py_ssize_t length, Py_ssize_t start, Py_ssize_t end, const char *reason)
|
|
|
|
Create a :class:`UnicodeDecodeError` object with the attributes *encoding*,
|
|
*object*, *length*, *start*, *end* and *reason*. *encoding* and *reason* are
|
|
UTF-8 encoded strings.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyUnicodeDecodeError_GetEncoding(PyObject *exc)
|
|

.. c:function:: int 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)
|
|
|
|
Get the *start* attribute of the given exception object and place it into
|
|
*\*start*. *start* must not be ``NULL``. Return ``0`` on success, ``-1`` on
|
|
failure.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyUnicodeDecodeError_SetStart(PyObject *exc, Py_ssize_t start)
|
|
int PyUnicodeEncodeError_SetStart(PyObject *exc, Py_ssize_t start)
|
|
int PyUnicodeTranslateError_SetStart(PyObject *exc, Py_ssize_t start)
|
|
|
|
Set the *start* attribute of the given exception object to *start*. Return
|
|
``0`` on success, ``-1`` on failure.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyUnicodeDecodeError_GetEnd(PyObject *exc, Py_ssize_t *end)
|
|
int PyUnicodeEncodeError_GetEnd(PyObject *exc, Py_ssize_t *end)
|
|
int PyUnicodeTranslateError_GetEnd(PyObject *exc, Py_ssize_t *end)
|
|
|
|
Get the *end* attribute of the given exception object and place it into
|
|
*\*end*. *end* must not be ``NULL``. Return ``0`` on success, ``-1`` on
|
|
failure.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyUnicodeDecodeError_SetEnd(PyObject *exc, Py_ssize_t end)
|
|
int PyUnicodeEncodeError_SetEnd(PyObject *exc, Py_ssize_t end)
|
|
int PyUnicodeTranslateError_SetEnd(PyObject *exc, Py_ssize_t end)
|
|
|
|
Set the *end* attribute of the given exception object to *end*. Return ``0``
|
|
on success, ``-1`` on failure.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: PyObject* PyUnicodeDecodeError_GetReason(PyObject *exc)
|
|
PyObject* PyUnicodeEncodeError_GetReason(PyObject *exc)
|
|
PyObject* PyUnicodeTranslateError_GetReason(PyObject *exc)
|
|
|
|
Return the *reason* attribute of the given exception object.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int PyUnicodeDecodeError_SetReason(PyObject *exc, const char *reason)
|
|
int PyUnicodeEncodeError_SetReason(PyObject *exc, const char *reason)
|
|
int PyUnicodeTranslateError_SetReason(PyObject *exc, const char *reason)
|
|
|
|
Set the *reason* attribute of the given exception object to *reason*. Return
|
|
``0`` on success, ``-1`` on failure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _recursion:
|
|
|
|
Recursion Control
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
They are also not needed for *tp_call* implementations
|
|
because the :ref:`call protocol <call>` takes care of recursion handling.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int Py_EnterRecursiveCall(const char *where)
|
|
|
|
Marks a point where a recursive C-level call is about to be performed.
|
|
|
|
If :c:macro:`USE_STACKCHECK` is defined, this function checks if the OS
|
|
stack overflowed using :c:func:`PyOS_CheckStack`. In this is the case, it
|
|
sets a :exc:`MemoryError` and returns a nonzero value.
|
|
|
|
The function then checks if the recursion limit is reached. If this is the
|
|
case, a :exc:`RecursionError` is set and a nonzero value is returned.
|
|
Otherwise, zero is returned.
|
|
|
|
*where* should be a UTF-8 encoded string such as ``" in instance check"`` to
|
|
be concatenated to the :exc:`RecursionError` message caused by the recursion
|
|
depth limit.
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 3.9
|
|
This function is now also available in the :ref:`limited API <limited-c-api>`.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void Py_LeaveRecursiveCall(void)
|
|
|
|
Ends a :c:func:`Py_EnterRecursiveCall`. Must be called once for each
|
|
*successful* invocation of :c:func:`Py_EnterRecursiveCall`.
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 3.9
|
|
This function is now also available in the :ref:`limited API <limited-c-api>`.
|
|
|
|
Properly implementing :c:member:`~PyTypeObject.tp_repr` for container types requires
|
|
special recursion handling. In addition to protecting the stack,
|
|
:c:member:`~PyTypeObject.tp_repr` also needs to track objects to prevent cycles. The
|
|
following two functions facilitate this functionality. Effectively,
|
|
these are the C equivalent to :func:`reprlib.recursive_repr`.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int Py_ReprEnter(PyObject *object)
|
|
|
|
Called at the beginning of the :c:member:`~PyTypeObject.tp_repr` implementation to
|
|
detect cycles.
|
|
|
|
If the object has already been processed, the function returns a
|
|
positive integer. In that case the :c:member:`~PyTypeObject.tp_repr` implementation
|
|
should return a string object indicating a cycle. As examples,
|
|
:class:`dict` objects return ``{...}`` and :class:`list` objects
|
|
return ``[...]``.
|
|
|
|
The function will return a negative integer if the recursion limit
|
|
is reached. In that case the :c:member:`~PyTypeObject.tp_repr` implementation should
|
|
typically return ``NULL``.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, the function returns zero and the :c:member:`~PyTypeObject.tp_repr`
|
|
implementation can continue normally.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void Py_ReprLeave(PyObject *object)
|
|
|
|
Ends a :c:func:`Py_ReprEnter`. Must be called once for each
|
|
invocation of :c:func:`Py_ReprEnter` that returns zero.
|
|

Standard Warning Categories
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
All standard Python warning categories are available as global variables whose
|
|
names are ``PyExc_`` followed by the Python exception name. These have the type
|
|
:c:expr:`PyObject*`; they are all class objects. For completeness, here are all
|
|
the variables:
|
|
|
|
.. index::
|

|
single: PyExc_BytesWarning
