Research direction

Search the C sources for exit(1) and the duplicate-coordinate condition described in the issue; start by tracing how that path is exposed to the Python program. Add coverage for conflicting input triples and verify the program can handle the reported failure without terminating.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When "two input triples have the same x/y coordinates but different data values" calls exit(1) instead of raising exception. This causes whole python program to exit suddenly without chances to handle the exception..
