# 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 `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.

Σημείωση

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).

## Printing and clearing

void PyErr_Clear()
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  Clear the error indicator. If the error indicator is not set, there is no effect.

void PyErr_PrintEx(int set_sys_last_vars)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  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 `sys.last_exc` is set to the printed exception. For backwards compatibility, the deprecated variables `sys.last_type`, `sys.last_value` and `sys.last_traceback` are also set to the type, value and traceback of this exception, respectively.

  Άλλαξε στην έκδοση 3.12: The setting of `sys.last_exc` was added.

void PyErr_Print()
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  Alias for `PyErr_PrintEx(1)`.

void PyErr_WriteUnraisable(PyObject *obj)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  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. If obj is `NULL`, only the traceback is printed.

  An exception must be set when calling this function.

  Άλλαξε στην έκδοση 3.4: Print a traceback. Print only traceback if obj is `NULL`.

  Άλλαξε στην έκδοση 3.8: Use `sys.unraisablehook()`.

void PyErr_FormatUnraisable(const char *format, ...)

  Similar to `PyErr_WriteUnraisable()`, but the format and subsequent parameters help format the warning message; they have the same meaning and values as in `PyUnicode_FromFormat()`. `PyErr_WriteUnraisable(obj)` is roughly equivalent to `PyErr_FormatUnraisable("Exception ignored in: %R", obj)`. If format is `NULL`, only the traceback is printed.

  Added in version 3.13.

void PyErr_DisplayException(PyObject *exc)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI από την έκδοση 3.12.

  Print the standard traceback display of `exc` to `sys.stderr`, including chained exceptions and notes.

  Added in version 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.

void PyErr_SetString(PyObject *type, const char *message)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  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. `PyExc_RuntimeError`. You need not create a new strong reference to it (e.g. with `Py_INCREF()`). The second argument is an error message; it is decoded from `'utf-8'`.

void PyErr_SetObject(PyObject *type, PyObject *value)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  This function is similar to `PyErr_SetString()` but lets you specify an arbitrary Python object for the «value» of the exception.

PyObject *PyErr_Format(PyObject *exception, const char *format, ...)
  Επιστρεφόμενη τιμή: Πάντοτε NULL. Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  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.

PyObject *PyErr_FormatV(PyObject *exception, const char *format, va_list vargs)
  Επιστρεφόμενη τιμή: Πάντοτε NULL. Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI από την έκδοση 3.5.

  Same as `PyErr_Format()`, but taking a `va_list` argument rather than a variable number of arguments.

  Added in version 3.5.

void PyErr_SetNone(PyObject *type)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  This is a shorthand for `PyErr_SetObject(type, Py_None)`.

int PyErr_BadArgument()
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  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.

PyObject *PyErr_NoMemory()
  Επιστρεφόμενη τιμή: Πάντοτε NULL. Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  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.

PyObject *PyErr_SetFromErrno(PyObject *type)
  Επιστρεφόμενη τιμή: Πάντοτε NULL. Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  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.

PyObject *PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilenameObject(PyObject *type, PyObject *filenameObject)
  Επιστρεφόμενη τιμή: Πάντοτε NULL. Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  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.

PyObject *PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilenameObjects(PyObject *type, PyObject *filenameObject, PyObject *filenameObject2)
  Επιστρεφόμενη τιμή: Πάντοτε NULL. Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI από την έκδοση 3.7.

  Similar to `PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilenameObject()`, but takes a second filename object, for raising errors when a function that takes two filenames fails.

  Added in version 3.4.

PyObject *PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilename(PyObject *type, const char *filename)
  Επιστρεφόμενη τιμή: Πάντοτε NULL. Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  Similar to `PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilenameObject()`, but the filename is given as a C string. filename is decoded from the filesystem encoding and error handler.

PyObject *PyErr_SetFromWindowsErr(int ierr)
  Επιστρεφόμενη τιμή: Πάντοτε NULL. Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI on Windows από την έκδοση 3.7.

  This is a convenience function to raise `OSError`. 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 `OSError` object with the `winerror` attribute set to the error code, the `strerror` attribute set to the corresponding error message (gotten from `FormatMessage()`), and then calls `PyErr_SetObject(PyExc_OSError, object)`. This function always returns `NULL`.

  Διαθεσιμότητα: Windows.

PyObject *PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErr(PyObject *type, int ierr)
  Επιστρεφόμενη τιμή: Πάντοτε NULL. Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI on Windows από την έκδοση 3.7.

  Similar to `PyErr_SetFromWindowsErr()`, with an additional parameter specifying the exception type to be raised.

  Διαθεσιμότητα: Windows.

PyObject *PyErr_SetFromWindowsErrWithFilename(int ierr, const char *filename)
  Επιστρεφόμενη τιμή: Πάντοτε NULL. Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI on Windows από την έκδοση 3.7.

  Similar to `PyErr_SetFromWindowsErr()`, with the additional behavior that if filename is not `NULL`, it is decoded from the filesystem encoding (`os.fsdecode()`) and passed to the constructor of `OSError` as a third parameter to be used to define the `filename` attribute of the exception instance.

  Διαθεσιμότητα: Windows.

PyObject *PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErrWithFilenameObject(PyObject *type, int ierr, PyObject *filename)
  Επιστρεφόμενη τιμή: Πάντοτε NULL. Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI on Windows από την έκδοση 3.7.

  Similar to `PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErr()`, with the additional behavior that if filename is not `NULL`, it is passed to the constructor of `OSError` as a third parameter to be used to define the `filename` attribute of the exception instance.

  Διαθεσιμότητα: Windows.

PyObject *PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErrWithFilenameObjects(PyObject *type, int ierr, PyObject *filename, PyObject *filename2)
  Επιστρεφόμενη τιμή: Πάντοτε NULL. Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI on Windows από την έκδοση 3.7.

  Similar to `PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErrWithFilenameObject()`, but accepts a second filename object.

  Διαθεσιμότητα: Windows.

  Added in version 3.4.

PyObject *PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErrWithFilename(PyObject *type, int ierr, const char *filename)
  Επιστρεφόμενη τιμή: Πάντοτε NULL. Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI on Windows από την έκδοση 3.7.

  Similar to `PyErr_SetFromWindowsErrWithFilename()`, with an additional parameter specifying the exception type to be raised.

  Διαθεσιμότητα: Windows.

PyObject *PyErr_SetImportError(PyObject *msg, PyObject *name, PyObject *path)
  Επιστρεφόμενη τιμή: Πάντοτε NULL. Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI από την έκδοση 3.7.

  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.

  Added in version 3.3.

PyObject *PyErr_SetImportErrorSubclass(PyObject *exception, PyObject *msg, PyObject *name, PyObject *path)
  Επιστρεφόμενη τιμή: Πάντοτε NULL. Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI από την έκδοση 3.6.

  Much like `PyErr_SetImportError()` but this function allows for specifying a subclass of `ImportError` to raise.

  Added in version 3.6.

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 `SyntaxError`, then it sets additional attributes, which make the exception printing subsystem think the exception is a `SyntaxError`.

  Added in version 3.4.

void PyErr_RangedSyntaxLocationObject(PyObject *filename, int lineno, int col_offset, int end_lineno, int end_col_offset)

  Similar to `PyErr_SyntaxLocationObject()`, but also sets the end_lineno and end_col_offset information for the current exception.

  Added in version 3.10.

void PyErr_SyntaxLocationEx(const char *filename, int lineno, int col_offset)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI από την έκδοση 3.7.

  Like `PyErr_SyntaxLocationObject()`, but filename is a byte string decoded from the filesystem encoding and error handler.

  Added in version 3.2.

void PyErr_SyntaxLocation(const char *filename, int lineno)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  Like `PyErr_SyntaxLocationEx()`, but the col_offset parameter is omitted.

void PyErr_BadInternalCall()
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  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.

PyObject *PyErr_ProgramTextObject(PyObject *filename, int lineno)

  Get the source line in filename at line lineno. filename should be a Python `str` object.

  On success, this function returns a Python string object with the found line. On failure, this function returns `NULL` without an exception set.

PyObject *PyErr_ProgramText(const char *filename, int lineno)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  Similar to `PyErr_ProgramTextObject()`, but filename is a const char*, which is decoded with the filesystem encoding and error handler, instead of a Python object reference.

## Issuing warnings

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).

int PyErr_WarnEx(PyObject *category, const char *message, Py_ssize_t stack_level)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  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 Warning types.

  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.

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 `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.

  Added in version 3.4.

int PyErr_WarnExplicit(PyObject *category, const char *message, const char *filename, int lineno, const char *module, PyObject *registry)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  Similar to `PyErr_WarnExplicitObject()` except that message and module are UTF-8 encoded strings, and filename is decoded from the filesystem encoding and error handler.

int PyErr_WarnFormat(PyObject *category, Py_ssize_t stack_level, const char *format, ...)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  Function similar to `PyErr_WarnEx()`, but use `PyUnicode_FromFormat()` to format the warning message. format is an ASCII-encoded string.

  Added in version 3.2.

int PyErr_WarnExplicitFormat(PyObject *category, const char *filename, int lineno, const char *module, PyObject *registry, const char *format, ...)

  Similar to `PyErr_WarnExplicit()`, but uses `PyUnicode_FromFormat()` to format the warning message. format is an ASCII-encoded string.

  Added in version 3.2.

int PyErr_ResourceWarning(PyObject *source, Py_ssize_t stack_level, const char *format, ...)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI από την έκδοση 3.6.

  Function similar to `PyErr_WarnFormat()`, but category is `ResourceWarning` and it passes source to `warnings.WarningMessage`.

  Added in version 3.6.

## Querying the error indicator

PyObject *PyErr_Occurred()
  Επιστρεφόμενη τιμή: Borrowed reference. Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  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.

  The caller must have an attached thread state.

  Σημείωση

  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.)

int PyErr_ExceptionMatches(PyObject *exc)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  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.

int PyErr_GivenExceptionMatches(PyObject *given, PyObject *exc)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  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.

PyObject *PyErr_GetRaisedException(void)
  Επιστρεφόμενη τιμή: New reference. Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI από την έκδοση 3.12.

  Return the exception currently being raised, clearing the error indicator at the same time. Return `NULL` if the error indicator is not set.

  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);
      }

  Δείτε επίσης

  `PyErr_GetHandledException()`, to save the exception currently being handled.

  Added in version 3.12.

void PyErr_SetRaisedException(PyObject *exc)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI από την έκδοση 3.12.

  Set exc as the exception currently being raised, clearing the existing exception if one is set.

  Προειδοποίηση

  This call steals a reference to exc, which must be a valid exception.

  Added in version 3.12.

void PyErr_Fetch(PyObject **ptype, PyObject **pvalue, PyObject **ptraceback)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  Αποσύρθηκε στην έκδοση 3.12: Use `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.

  Σημείωση

  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);
      }

void PyErr_Restore(PyObject *type, PyObject *value, PyObject *traceback)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  Αποσύρθηκε στην έκδοση 3.12: Use `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.)

  Σημείωση

  This function is normally only used by legacy code that needs to save and restore the error indicator temporarily. Use `PyErr_Fetch()` to save the current error indicator.

void PyErr_NormalizeException(PyObject **exc, PyObject **val, PyObject **tb)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  Αποσύρθηκε στην έκδοση 3.12: Use `PyErr_GetRaisedException()` instead, to avoid any possible de-normalization.

  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.

  Σημείωση

  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);
      }

PyObject *PyErr_GetHandledException(void)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI από την έκδοση 3.11.

  Retrieve the active exception instance, as would be returned by `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.

  Σημείωση

  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_SetHandledException()` to restore or clear the exception state.

  Added in version 3.11.

void PyErr_SetHandledException(PyObject *exc)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI από την έκδοση 3.11.

  Set the active exception, as known from `sys.exception()`. This refers to an exception that was already caught, not to an exception that was freshly raised. To clear the exception state, pass `NULL`.

  Σημείωση

  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_GetHandledException()` to get the exception state.

  Added in version 3.11.

void PyErr_GetExcInfo(PyObject **ptype, PyObject **pvalue, PyObject **ptraceback)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI από την έκδοση 3.7.

  Retrieve the old-style representation of 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. This function is kept for backwards compatibility. Prefer using `PyErr_GetHandledException()`.

  Σημείωση

  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.

  Added in version 3.3.

void PyErr_SetExcInfo(PyObject *type, PyObject *value, PyObject *traceback)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI από την έκδοση 3.7.

  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. This function is kept for backwards compatibility. Prefer using `PyErr_SetHandledException()`.

  Σημείωση

  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.

  Added in version 3.3.

  Άλλαξε στην έκδοση 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

int PyErr_CheckSignals()
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  Handle external interruptions, such as signals or activating a debugger, whose processing has been delayed until it is safe to run Python code and/or raise exceptions.

  For example, pressing `Ctrl`-`C` causes a terminal to send the `signal.SIGINT` signal. This function executes the corresponding Python signal handler, which, by default, raises the `KeyboardInterrupt` exception.

  `PyErr_CheckSignals()` should be called by long-running C code frequently enough so that the response appears immediate to humans.

  Handlers invoked by this function currently include:

  - Signal handlers, including Python functions registered using the `signal` module.

    Signal handlers are only run in the main thread of the main interpreter.

    (This is where the function got the name: originally, signals were the only way to interrupt the interpreter.)

  - Running the garbage collector, if necessary.

  - Executing a pending remote debugger script.

  - Raise the exception set by `PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc()`.

  If any handler raises an exception, immediately return `-1` with that exception set. Any remaining interruptions are left to be processed on the next `PyErr_CheckSignals()` invocation, if appropriate.

  If all handlers finish successfully, or there are no handlers to run, return `0`.

  Άλλαξε στην έκδοση 3.12: This function may now invoke the garbage collector.

  Άλλαξε στην έκδοση 3.14: This function may now execute a remote debugger script, if remote debugging is enabled.

  Άλλαξε στην έκδοση 3.15: The exception set by `PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc()` is now raised.

void PyErr_SetInterrupt()
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  Simulate the effect of a `SIGINT` signal arriving. This is equivalent to `PyErr_SetInterruptEx(SIGINT)`.

  Σημείωση

  This function is async-signal-safe. It can be called without an attached thread state and from a C signal handler.

int PyErr_SetInterruptEx(int signum)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI από την έκδοση 3.10.

  Simulate the effect of a signal arriving. The next time `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 `signal.SIG_DFL` or `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.

  Σημείωση

  This function is async-signal-safe. It can be called without an attached thread state and from a C signal handler.

  Added in version 3.10.

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 `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.

  Άλλαξε στην έκδοση 3.5: On Windows, the function now also supports socket handles.

## Exception Classes

PyObject *PyErr_NewException(const char *name, PyObject *base, PyObject *dict)
  Επιστρεφόμενη τιμή: New reference. Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  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.

PyObject *PyErr_NewExceptionWithDoc(const char *name, const char *doc, PyObject *base, PyObject *dict)
  Επιστρεφόμενη τιμή: New reference. Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  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.

  Added in version 3.2.

int PyExceptionClass_Check(PyObject *ob)

  Return non-zero if ob is an exception class, zero otherwise. This function always succeeds.

const char *PyExceptionClass_Name(PyObject *ob)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI από την έκδοση 3.8.

  Return `tp_name` of the exception class ob.

PyException_HEAD

  This is a macro including the base fields for an exception object.

  This was included in Python’s C API by mistake and is not designed for use in extensions. For creating custom exception objects, use `PyErr_NewException()` or otherwise create a class inheriting from `PyExc_BaseException`.

  Soft deprecated since version 3.15.

## Exception Objects

int PyExceptionInstance_Check(PyObject *op)

  Return true if op is an instance of `BaseException`, false otherwise. This function always succeeds.

PyExceptionInstance_Class(op)

  Equivalent to `Py_TYPE(op)`.

PyObject *PyException_GetTraceback(PyObject *ex)
  Επιστρεφόμενη τιμή: New reference. Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  Return the traceback associated with the exception as a new reference, as accessible from Python through the `__traceback__` attribute. If there is no traceback associated, this returns `NULL`.

int PyException_SetTraceback(PyObject *ex, PyObject *tb)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  Set the traceback associated with the exception to tb. Use `Py_None` to clear it.

PyObject *PyException_GetContext(PyObject *ex)
  Επιστρεφόμενη τιμή: New reference. Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  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 the `__context__` attribute. If there is no context associated, this returns `NULL`.

void PyException_SetContext(PyObject *ex, PyObject *ctx)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  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.

PyObject *PyException_GetCause(PyObject *ex)
  Επιστρεφόμενη τιμή: New reference. Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  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 the `__cause__` attribute.

void PyException_SetCause(PyObject *ex, PyObject *cause)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  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.

  The `__suppress_context__` attribute is implicitly set to `True` by this function.

PyObject *PyException_GetArgs(PyObject *ex)
  Επιστρεφόμενη τιμή: New reference. Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI από την έκδοση 3.12.

  Return `args` of exception ex.

void PyException_SetArgs(PyObject *ex, PyObject *args)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI από την έκδοση 3.12.

  Set `args` of exception ex to args.

PyObject *PyUnstable_Exc_PrepReraiseStar(PyObject *orig, PyObject *excs)
  Αυτό είναι Ασταθές API. Μπορεί να αλλάξει χωρίς προειδοποίηση σε μικρές εκδόσεις.

  Implement part of the interpreter’s implementation of `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 unhandled part of orig, if any, as well as the exceptions that were raised from the `except*` clauses (so they have a different traceback from orig) and those that were reraised (and have the same traceback as orig). Return the `ExceptionGroup` that needs to be reraised in the end, or `None` if there is nothing to reraise.

  Added in version 3.12.

## Unicode Exception Objects

The following functions are used to create and modify Unicode exceptions from C.

PyObject *PyUnicodeDecodeError_Create(const char *encoding, const char *object, Py_ssize_t length, Py_ssize_t start, Py_ssize_t end, const char *reason)
  Επιστρεφόμενη τιμή: New reference. Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  Create a `UnicodeDecodeError` object with the attributes encoding, object, length, start, end and reason. encoding and reason are UTF-8 encoded strings.

int PyUnicodeEncodeError_GetStart(PyObject *exc, Py_ssize_t *start)
int PyUnicodeTranslateError_GetStart(PyObject *exc, Py_ssize_t *start)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  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.

  If the `UnicodeError.object` is an empty sequence, the resulting start is `0`. Otherwise, it is clipped to `[0, len(object) - 1]`.

  Set the reason attribute of the given exception object to reason. Return `0` on success, `-1` on failure.

## 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 call protocol takes care of recursion handling.

int Py_EnterRecursiveCall(const char *where)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI από την έκδοση 3.9.

  Marks a point where a recursive C-level call is about to be performed.

  The function then checks if the stack 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 UTF-8 encoded string such as `" in instance check"` to be concatenated to the `RecursionError` message caused by the recursion depth limit.

void Py_LeaveRecursiveCall(void)

  Ends a `Py_EnterRecursiveCall()`. Must be called once for each successful invocation of `Py_EnterRecursiveCall()`.

  Άλλαξε στην έκδοση 3.9: This function is now also available in the limited API.

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()`.

int Py_ReprEnter(PyObject *object)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  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.

void Py_ReprLeave(PyObject *object)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  Ends a `Py_ReprEnter()`. Must be called once for each invocation of `Py_ReprEnter()` that returns zero.

int Py_GetRecursionLimit(void)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  Get the recursion limit for the current interpreter. It can be set with `Py_SetRecursionLimit()`. The recursion limit prevents the Python interpreter stack from growing infinitely.

  This function cannot fail, and the caller must hold an attached thread state.

void Py_SetRecursionLimit(int new_limit)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

## Tracebacks

PyTypeObject PyTraceBack_Type
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  Type object for traceback objects. This is available as `types.TracebackType` in the Python layer.

int PyTraceBack_Check(PyObject *op)

  Return true if op is a traceback object, false otherwise. This function does not account for subtypes.

int PyTraceBack_Here(PyFrameObject *f)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  Replace the `__traceback__` attribute on the current exception with a new traceback prepending f to the existing chain.

  Calling this function without an exception set is undefined behavior.

  This function returns `0` on success, and returns `-1` with an exception set on failure.

int PyTraceBack_Print(PyObject *tb, PyObject *f)
  Μέρος του Σταθερό ABI.

  Write the traceback tb into the file f.

  This function returns `0` on success, and returns `-1` with an exception set on failure.

const char *PyUnstable_DumpTraceback(int fd, PyThreadState *tstate)
  Αυτό είναι Ασταθές API. Μπορεί να αλλάξει χωρίς προειδοποίηση σε μικρές εκδόσεις.

  Write a trace of the Python stack in tstate into the file fd. The format looks like:

      Traceback (most recent call first):
        File "xxx", line xxx in <xxx>
        File "xxx", line xxx in <xxx>
        ...
        File "xxx", line xxx in <xxx>

  This function is meant to debug situations such as segfaults, fatal errors, and similar. The file and function names it outputs are encoded to ASCII with backslashreplace and truncated to 500 characters. It writes only the first 100 frames; further frames are truncated with the line `...`.

  This function will return `NULL` on success, or an error message on error.

  This function is intended for use in crash scenarios such as signal handlers for SIGSEGV, where the interpreter may be in an inconsistent state. Given that it reads interpreter data structures that may be partially modified, the function might produce incomplete output or it may even crash itself.

  The caller does not need to hold an attached thread state, nor does tstate need to be attached.

  Added in version 3.15.

const char *PyUnstable_DumpTracebackThreads(int fd, PyInterpreterState *interp, PyThreadState *current_tstate, Py_ssize_t max_threads)
  Αυτό είναι Ασταθές API. Μπορεί να αλλάξει χωρίς προειδοποίηση σε μικρές εκδόσεις.

  Write the traces of all Python threads in interp into the file fd.

  If interp is `NULL` then this function will try to identify the current interpreter using thread-specific storage. If it cannot, it will return an error.

  If current_tstate is not `NULL` then it will be used to identify what the current thread is in the written output. If it is `NULL` then this function will identify the current thread using thread-specific storage. It is not an error if the function is unable to get the current Python thread state.

  This function will return `NULL` on success, or an error message on error.

  This function is meant to debug debug situations such as segfaults, fatal errors, and similar. It calls `PyUnstable_DumpTraceback()` for each thread. It only writes the tracebacks of the first max_threads threads, further output is truncated with the line `...`. If max_threads is 0, the function will use a default value of 100 for the argument.

  This function is intended for use in crash scenarios such as signal handlers for SIGSEGV, where the interpreter may be in an inconsistent state. Given that it reads interpreter data structures that may be partially modified, the function might produce incomplete output or it may even crash itself.

  The caller does not need to hold an attached thread state, nor does current_tstate need to be attached.

  Προειδοποίηση

  On the free-threaded build, this function is not thread-safe. If another thread deletes its thread state while this function is being called, the process will likely crash.

  Added in version 3.15.
