[Baypiggies] Python way to avoid usage of raise

[Tung Wai Yip]

Why do you want to do this? Is this just an internal coding guideline? Or  
is it done for interfacing to another language or running on non-standard  
VM? Is this apply to new code only or do you want to update existing code  
as well?

There is no equivalent of C macro in Python. Just apply every code change  
as you describe it. Build a tuple every time you return something. Change  
raise into returning tuple. And change ever function call to expecting a  
tuple return value. I can't think of anything smarter. it looks like a  
complete disaster anyway.
