PyExc

a Python library written in C++ - Manage exceptions.

Install - Usage - Memory Usage - Speed

⚠️ NOTE: I archived this project because i found a little memory leak in this c++ part, i couldn't solve that.

---

Version: 1.3.2 - Thread-Safe (License: GNU GPLv3)

Example:

import pyexc

@pyexc.setCallback
def handle_exceptions(state, exc):
    pyexc.printExc(state=state)

try:
    # ...
except Exception as e:
    pyexc.setExc(e) # will call handle_exceptions

NOTE
This repo is my practice to learn Python C Extension ...

Install

PIP:

pip3 install -U git+https://github.com/awolverp/pyexc

If you don't want to install C++ extension, use these commands:

Linux / MacOS:

CEXTENSION=0 pip3 install -U git+https://github.com/awolverp/pyexc

Windows:

set CEXTENSION=0
pip3 install -U git+https://github.com/awolverp/pyexc

NOTE: if you haven't c++ compiler, the extension isn't installed automatically.

Usage

How it works? Its function is very simple. Suppose you have a dictionary whose key is the number named state and value is Exception. You put any exception to this dictionary with setExc function and manage that by other functions.

See example / examples.

occurred

If an exception is occurred, returns True, otherwise False.

pyexc.occurred(state: int = ...) -> bool

clear

If an exception is occurred and successfully erased, Returns True, otherwise False.

pyexc.clear(state: int = ...) -> bool

clearAll

If any exception is occurred and successfully erased, returns True, otherwise False.

pyexc.clearAll() -> bool

getExc

Returns the exception which is occurred in state scope.
If any exception not occurred in state scope, returns None.

getExc(state: int = ...) -> BaseException | Type[BaseException] | None

setExc

Set an exception in state scope.

• Parameters:

  • exc: An instance of BaseException.

  • state: scope.

  • block: If True and already any exception have occurred in state scope, returns False.

Returns: True if setted, otherwise False.

setExc(exc: BaseException | Type[BaseException], state: int = ..., block: bool = ...) -> bool

raiseExc

Raise the exception which is occurred in state scope. If any exception not occurred in state scope, will raise SystemError.

• Parameters:

  • state: scope.

  • clear: will erase the exception after raise - default True.

raiseExc(state: int = ..., clear: bool = ...) -> NoReturn

printExc

Print the exception which is occurred in state scope.

• Parameters:

  • state: scope.

  • clear: will erase the exception after print - default True.

printExc(state: int = ..., clear: bool = ...) -> bool

setCallback

Set callback function. The callback function will call after each use of setExc.

• Callback Function Arguments:

  • state (int): scope.

  • exc (BaseException | Type[BaseException]): An instance of BaseException.

setCallback(callback: (int, BaseException | Type[BaseException]) -> None) -> None:

call

Calls func with args and kwargs parameters. If func raised exception, exception will sets in state scope and returns None.

• Parameters:

  • func (Callable): function.

  • state (int): scope.

  • args (tuple): function args.

  • kwargs (dict[str, Any]): function kwargs.

call(func: (...) -> Any, state:int=0, args:tuple=(), kwargs:dict={}) -> Any

Note: [C EXTENSION bug]: pyexc.call has a bug in c extension that doesn't keep exception values and just keeps type of it.

rcall

Like pyexc.call but returns exception instead of set in state scope.

rcall(func: (...) -> Any, args:tuple=(), kwargs:dict={}) -> Any

Note: [C EXTENSION bug]: pyexc.rcall has a bug in c extension that doesn't return exception values and just returns type of it.

lenStates

Returns len(states).

lenStates() -> int

maxState

Returns the biggest number of states.

maxState() -> int

states

Returns states.

states() -> list[int]

version

Returns PyExc version as tuple.

version() -> tuple[int, int, int]

__ sizeof __

Returns allocated memory size in Bytes.

__sizeof__() -> int

Examples

exception

import pyexc

def foo():
    try:
        # ... some code
    except Exception as e:
        pyexc.setExc(e, state=1)

foo()

if pyexc.occurred(state=1):
    pyexc.raiseExc(state=1)

multi exceptions

import pyexc

def foo():
    for i in range(100):
        try:
            # ... some code
        except Exception as e:
            pyexc.setExc(e, state=i)

foo()

if pyexc.lenStates() != 0:
    for state in pyexc.states():
        exc = pyexc.getExc(state=state)
        # ...

multithreading: (not recommended)

import threading
import time
import pyexc

def handler():
    for i in range(10):
        pyexc.setExc(TypeError(i))
        time.sleep(0.2)

def getter():
    for i in range(10):
        pyexc.printExc()
        time.sleep(0.2)

t1 = threading.Thread(target=handler)
t2 = threading.Thread(target=getter)
t1.start()
t2.start()
t1.join()
t2.join()

multithreading: (recommended)

import threading
import pyexc

def getter(state, exc):
    pyexc.printExc(state=state)

pyexc.setCallback(getter)

def handler():
    for i in range(10):
        pyexc.setExc(TypeError(i))
        time.sleep(0.2)

t1 = threading.Thread(target=handler)
t1.start()
t1.join()

Memory Usage

PyExc uses Very Low memory. 1/3 dict memory usage.

>>> import pyexc
>>> for i in range(1000): pyexc.setExc(TypeError(), state=i)
>>> pyexc.__sizeof__()
12000 # 12000 Bytes

>>> d = dict()
>>> for i in range(1000): d[i] = TypeError()
>>> d.__sizeof__()
36944 # 36944 Bytes

Speed

PyExc is slower than dict.

>>> import pyexc
>>> %timeit for i in range(1000): pyexc.setExc(TypeError(), state=i)
1000 loops, best of 5: 599 µs per loop

>>> d = dict()
>>> %timeit for i in range(1000): d[i] = TypeError()
1000 loops, best of 5: 124 µs per loop

TODO

• Add python code
• Add call function
• Add rcall function
• Add toString function
• Add writeTo function
