First of all, what version of Python are you using? String exceptions
are deprecated in Python 2.5 and removed in 2.6. You should switch to
using Exceptions. In particular, you'll probably want to subclass
Exception.

String exceptions use the syntax "except 'exception string':" which
means you need to know the string ahead of time. You'll instead want
to do this.

def foo1() :
   try :
     foo2()
   except Exception, e :
      print "outer exception at foo1, %s" % str(e)

def foo2() :
   raise Exception("inner exception at foo2")

In Python 3.x, the syntax changed to "except Exception as e" but that
syntax isn't available in versions prior to 2.6
