Exceptable

h1. Exceptable

Exceptable is a Python + PL/PGSQL library specifically built to handle propagation of exceptions from [[PostgreSQL]] and stored procedures in a more consistent fashion.

By utilizing a standardized exception text format, standard ProgrammingErrors as raised by the Python DB-API can be caught, analyzed, and re-raised as exceptions that are more useful in the application layer.

h2. Definable Exceptions

By providing a simple, configurable decorator for wrapping DB functionality, Exceptable allows for customizable exception APIs to be created simply and efficiently.
