We had a discussion some months ago concerning handling of python exceptions
raised in callbacks. The idea was to pass exceptions through the C layer
such that they could be caught at (python) application level.

Is this now supported ? That might be the simplest way to achieve what the OP
wants without the need to touch any low-level API.
