<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I just wanted to ask what the accepted way of indicating a memory allocation error in Pyrex is? I have no trouble doing the following:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>pstr = <char*>PyMem_Malloc(size)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>if pstr == NULL:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> return PyErr_NoMemory()</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>But in the interpreter this doesn't give any information besides "MemoryError". Is this standard practice or do you take the alternate path of raising a python exception that encapsulates more contextual information?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Regards,</FONT>
