You're right, I never thought of the possibility of user code explicitly
throwing SPIError exceptions.

The root issue is that PLy_elog will only set errcode if it finds the
"spidata" attribute, but I think passing error details through that
attribute is a kludge more than something more code should rely on.

Here's an alternative patch that takes advantage of the already present
(and documented) "sqlstate" variable to set the error code when handling
SPIError exceptions.

I also used your test case and added another one, just in case.

Thanks,
