For the dubious: Ref Manual, 6.9 The raise statement
"Otherwise, raise evaluates its first expression, which must yield a
string, class, or instance object. .... If the first expression is an
instance object, the second expression must be None."   [or omitted,
unless third expression is present]

try:
    raise Exception("Test of instance raising")
except Exception, haha:
    print haha, type(haha)

#prints
Test of instance raising <type 'instance'>
