Can you tell me what happens if you call a piece of Qt code
from Python which in turns invokes a Python callback, and the
latter raises an exception? In my experience sys.excepthook is useless
in this scenario, because when control returns from the
last Python callback, the exception is not propagated (i.e., there is normal
flow of control).
