Without context, I almost didn't catch that as a question directed
to me...

Mark McEahern posted an answer which I read before I posted my
reply which referred to it.  Maybe it hadn't reached you yet, 
and I should apologize for not quoting the content.  What he
wrote was this (with apologies to Mark for the copyright 
violation :-) :

"""
  Subclass your exception from Exception; e.g.,

  class MyException(Exception):pass

  def dostuff():
      raise MyException

  try:
      dostuff()
  except MyException, e:
      print "We caught %s" % e
"""
