OK, let's move this, then. I asked the question because I'd like to know what the best practice is for exceptions in the stdlib. This is an area in which we have made quite a bit of progress recently (ie: the work done on exceptions for Python3, and PEP 3151), but I think there is still a lack of documentation (and possibly consensus?) on best practices for the stdlib.
