## Class PyException

- java.lang.Object
- - java.lang.Throwable
  - - java.lang.Exception
    - - java.lang.RuntimeException
      - - org.python.core.PyException

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, Traverseproc
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    PyIndentationError, PySyntaxError

      public class PyException
      extends java.lang.RuntimeException
      implements Traverseproc

  A wrapper for all python exception. Note that the well-known python exceptions are not subclasses of PyException. Instead the python exception class is stored in the `type` field and value or class instance is stored in the `value` field.

      Returns:
        String exception name

    - #### traverse

          public int traverse(Visitproc visit,
                              java.lang.Object arg)

      Description copied from interface: `Traverseproc`
      Traverses all directly contained `PyObject`s. Like in CPython, `arg` must be passed unmodified to `visit` as its second parameter. If `Visitproc.visit(PyObject, Object)` returns nonzero, this return value must be returned immediately by traverse. `Visitproc.visit(PyObject, Object)` must not be called with a `null` PyObject-argument.
      Specified by:
        `traverse` in interface `Traverseproc`

    - #### refersDirectlyTo

          public boolean refersDirectlyTo(PyObject ob)

      Description copied from interface: `Traverseproc`
      Optional operation. Should only be implemented if it is more efficient than calling `Traverseproc.traverse(Visitproc, Object)` with a visitproc that just watches out for `ob`. Must return `false` if `ob` is `null`.
      Specified by:
        `refersDirectlyTo` in interface `Traverseproc`
