:Funny, this isn't in Learning Python... and raise all by

A teaching text is not going to serve as a complete language reference
- those are separate topics.  I glanced at LP and notice it did
mention re-raising exceptions, but didn't actually give the details
(p. 197). I'm not going to throw stones; as the author of a Python
course, every time I look at it I see something I wish I had said
differently, or included, or ...  

You might consider keeping a Python Essential Reference on hand as a
supplement.
