PEP 8 also says those names are poorly chosen. Better:

    raise foomod.FooException("Some message which is quite long")

> raise fooMod.fooException("\
>         Some message \
>         which is quite long")

Take advantage of the parsing of string literals and parenthesis:

    raise foomod.FooException(
        "Some message"
        " which is quite long")

and for the sake of my eyes, avoid camelCase.
