Accessing a Python traceback from the C API

I'm having some trouble figuring out the proper way to walk a Python traceback using the C API. I'm writing an application that embeds the Python interpreter. I want to be able to execute arbitrary Python code, and if it raises an exception, to translate it to my own application-specific C++ exception. For now, it is sufficient to extract just the file name and line number where the Python exception was raised. This is what I have so far:

PyObject* pyresult = PyObject_CallObject(someCallablePythonObject, someArgs);
if (!pyresult)
{
    PyObject* excType, *excValue, *excTraceback;
    PyErr_Fetch(&excType, &excValue, &excTraceback);
    PyErr_NormalizeException(&excType, &excValue, &excTraceback);

    PyTracebackObject* traceback = (PyTracebackObject*)traceback;
    // Advance to the last frame (python puts the most-recent call at the end)
    while (traceback->tb_next != NULL)
        traceback = traceback->tb_next;

    // At this point I have access to the line number via traceback->tb_lineno,
    // but where do I get the file name from?

    // ...       
}

Digging around in the Python source code, I see they access both the filename and module name of the current frame via the _frame structure, which looks like it is a privately-defined struct. My next idea was to programmatically load the Python 'traceback' module and call its functions with the C API. Is this sane? Is there a better way to access a Python traceback from C?

我更喜欢从C调用python：

err = PyErr_Occurred();
if (err != NULL) {
    PyObject *ptype, *pvalue, *ptraceback;
    PyObject *pystr, *module_name, *pyth_module, *pyth_func;
    char *str;

    PyErr_Fetch(&ptype, &pvalue, &ptraceback);
    pystr = PyObject_Str(pvalue);
    str = PyString_AsString(pystr);
    error_description = strdup(str);

    /* See if we can get a full traceback */
    module_name = PyString_FromString("traceback");
    pyth_module = PyImport_Import(module_name);
    Py_DECREF(module_name);

    if (pyth_module == NULL) {
        full_backtrace = NULL;
        return;
    }

    pyth_func = PyObject_GetAttrString(pyth_module, "format_exception");
    if (pyth_func && PyCallable_Check(pyth_func)) {
        PyObject *pyth_val;

        pyth_val = PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs(pyth_func, ptype, pvalue, ptraceback, NULL);

        pystr = PyObject_Str(pyth_val);
        str = PyString_AsString(pystr);
        full_backtrace = strdup(str);
        Py_DECREF(pyth_val);
    }
}

This is an old question but for future reference, you can get the current stack frame from the thread state object and then just walk the frames backward. A traceback object isn't necessary unless you want to preserve the state for the future.

For example:

PyThreadState *tstate = PyThreadState_GET();
if (NULL != tstate && NULL != tstate->frame) {
    PyFrameObject *frame = tstate->frame;

    printf("Python stack trace:n");
    while (NULL != frame) {
        // int line = frame->f_lineno;
        /*
         frame->f_lineno will not always return the correct line number
         you need to call PyCode_Addr2Line().
        */
        int line = PyCode_Addr2Line(frame->f_code, frame->f_lasti);
        const char *filename = PyString_AsString(frame->f_code->co_filename);
        const char *funcname = PyString_AsString(frame->f_code->co_name);
        printf("    %s(%d): %sn", filename, line, funcname);
        frame = frame->f_back;
    }
}

I've discovered that _frame is actually defined in the frameobject.h header included with Python. Armed with this plus looking at traceback.c in the Python C implementation, we have:

#include <Python.h>
#include <frameobject.h>

PyTracebackObject* traceback = get_the_traceback();

int line = traceback->tb_lineno;
const char* filename = PyString_AsString(traceback->tb_frame->f_code->co_filename);

But this still seems really dirty to me.
