[Pyrex] Is there any problem with having "except *" as the default behavior for cdef funcs?

[Robert Bradshaw]

The beauty of the except clause is that PyErr_Occurred is not called,  
instead just does a check to see if the returned value matches the  
except value, which is much faster. I think, however, if the except  
value matches PyErr_Occurred should still probably be called to  
verify it is an error rather than a valid value. (Put that on the  
todo list...)
