Have a look at the following doc page for handling exceptions with the C api: http://docs.python.org/api/exceptionHandling.html Also, here is some sample code that will catch system exit exceptions: //Call python code ... //Check for system exit exception if(PyErr_Occurred()) { if(PyErr_ExceptionMatches(PyExc_SystemExit)) { //handle system exit PyErr_Clear(); } else { PyErr_Print(); } } -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
