// TPyException                                                             //
//                                                                          //
// Purpose: A C++ exception class for throwing python exceptions            //
//          through C++ code.                                               //
// Created: Apr, 2004, sss, from the version in D0's python_util.           //
//                                                                          //
// The situation is:                                                        //
//   - We're calling ROOT C++ code from python.                             //
//   - The C++ code can call back to python.                                //
//   - What to do then if the python callback throws an exception?          //
//                                                                          //
// We need to get the control flow back to where PyROOT makes the ROOT call.//
// To do that we throw a TPyException.                                      //
// We can then catch this exception when we do the ROOT call.               //
//                                                                          //
// Note that we don't need to save any state in the exception -- it's       //
// already in the python error info variables.                              //
// (??? Actually, if the program is multithreaded, this is dangerous        //
// if the code has released and reacquired the lock along the call chain.   //
// Punt on this for now, though.)                                           //
//                                                                          //
