[PyQt] Raising C++ exceptions from python

[Alessandro Pasotti]

Hello,

What is the recommended way to raise/throw a C++ exception from python
to be catched in C++ code?

For example, I have this SIP code:

class QgsMapServiceException
{
%TypeHeaderCode
#include <qgsmapserviceexception.h>
%End
  public:
    QgsMapServiceException( const QString& code, const QString& message );
    QString code() const;
    QString message() const;
};


In python code I would like to raise this exception and catch it from
C++ FCGI loop.

The problem is that Python doesn't know that QgsMapServiceException is
an exception:

    raise QgsMapServiceException('ExceptionFilter', 'Test exception
raised from ExceptionFilter')
TypeError: exceptions must be old-style classes or derived from
BaseException, not QgsMapServiceException
