I often read that argument that info on thrown exceptions does not 
matter in Python, but I beg to differ. Just as a simple and well-known 
example, it is absolutely important to know that the str.index() method 
throws a ValueError if nothing is found, while the str.find() method 
should never throw a ValueError.
