When using PyO3 to create an extension module, you can add the new exception to
the module like this, so that it is importable from Python:
```rust,ignore
create_exception!(mymodule, CustomError, PyException);
#[pymodule]
fn mymodule(py: Python, m: &PyModule) -> PyResult<()> {
// ... other elements added to module ...
m.add("CustomError", py.get_type::<CustomError>())?;
Ok(())
}
```
## Raising an exception ## Raising an exception
To raise an exception, first you need to obtain an exception type and construct a new [`PyErr`], then call the [`PyErr::restore`](https://docs.rs/pyo3/latest/pyo3/struct.PyErr.html#method.restore) method to write the exception back to the Python interpreter's global state.
