[New-bugs-announce] [issue9406] ConfigParser exceptions do not subclass StandardError

[James Tatum]

New submission from James Tatum <jtatum at gmail.com>:

ConfigParser defines a number of exception classes which all ultimately derive from ConfigParser.Error. ConfigParser.Error, however, only derives from Exception. These should all derive from StandardError.
