Sorry - I had no idea this was the normal behaviour - I missed this in the 
Python docs.

I've worked around my problem by raising a special exception in the 
exception handler after handling the first, then ignoring it - urgh.

I tried using exc_clear() instead, but this doesn't seem to have any effect.

I noticed this problem because Python signals seem to continue to be 
connected to a QObject even if the Qt part has been deleted, unlike C++ 
signals.
