Preferred exception style?

[Steven Taschuk]

Quoth George Young:

> class GetRunFailed(Exception):
> 	def __init__(self, reqobj, dberrormsg=None,
>                      domainerr='Run does not exist'):
  [...]

Positional parameters (but not keyword arguments) can be passed
with the comma syntax, using a tuple in the second place:

    raise GetRunFailed, (reqobj, dberrormsg, domainerr)

The familiar special case for 1-tuples occurs here too, of course.
