Numpy.array and buffer protocol exceptions

[kpeeters]

I define a handler for def_buffer for my C++ object. At runtime, this can throw an exception. If I do memoryview(obj) I can see that the exception reaches the python side.

However, if I do numpy.array(obj) it looks like numpy ignores this exception and happily continues to use standard indexing operators to extract the elements of my object.

How can I make this such that numpy stops when it sees the exception?

Thanks,
