I’ve just released pytst 1.16, you can download it there.

This release fixes an annoying bug that occurs if you used CallableAction or CallableFilter. If your Python callback functions raised a Python exception, the whole process crashed. This meant that you had to catch all Python exceptions in the callback, which was not always handy. The exceptions now behave as expected, that is to say they are passed from the callback to the Python calling code through the C++ layer.

Thanks to Keith Davidson who reported this bug. Keith also reported a problem with NULL characters inside the keys : keys seem to be handled as NULL-terminated strings. It looks like there is a problem in the SWIG layer, since the C++ code doesn’t assume strings are NULL-terminated. I’ll have a look at this problem ASAP.
