Error callback in secp256k1 should not ever return. The default one prints a message to stderr and does abort() This is a really exceptional situation with no safe recovery, so there's no sense in handling it in python. Better just use the default handler.

As per rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1#228, the error callback should never return. It seems that illegal callback returning could be OK, and it may be better for debugging incorrect function usage, rather than having an abort. |
