How to make Python runtime safe?

Question

I've made an interface using Boost Python into my C++ code, calling the Python interpreter from my C++ code. I was curious to know if there's any API function or something that can make Python run-time safe. I mean is it possible to make the interpreter skip the faults and errors if any occurred in the code?!

Thanks in advance

Python has exception handling functionality. You can wrap any code that has the potential to create an error in a try block:

 try:
     #do risky stuff
 except Exception as e:
     print "Exception", e, "received. Code will continue to execute"
     #do other stuff that needs to be done

You can replace Exception in that code with a specific type of exception that you're expecting, such as ZeroDivisionError, and then your code will only catch that type of error.
