New issue 115: Catch-all exceptions don't make an exception for GeneratorExit

Description:
  Hi

pylib seems to often use
{{{
try:
    ...
except (KeyboardInterrupt, SystemExit):
   raise
except:
   ...
}}}
However this currently misses GeneratorExit and might miss other exceptions which don't (and shouldn't) inherit from Exception in the future.

However the hierarchy only got rearranged in python 2.5 and GeneratorExit was only present since 2.5.  So maybe this can't be solved until 2.4 is no longer supported.

Regards
Floris
