Summary: NameError value is not the name error

Initial Comment:
NameError value was the faulty name in 1.5.2, but it
isn't in 2.2.

try:
    a
except NameError, e:
    print e.args

Reports in 1.5.2 :
('a',)

Reports in 2.2 :
("name 'a' is not defined",)

What do you mean? Pedro gave a link. Just search for
'NameError' on that page.

If you are referring to the cvs docs, the appropriate file is:
dist/src/Doc/lib/libexcs.tex, line 209f

Pedro is right in that current practice is incosistent with old
practice AND documentation.
