I can't use PostHook as it can't get any argument. Maybe a %PostCode and a
%PreCode (in which users might call sipCallHook, if they need) would be more
powerful.

Would exec work for this? And once it's in the module dictionary, how do I
access its type from a %MethodCode so to call PyErr_Format()?
[sorry, I'm pretty newbie at Python API].
