[Tutor] smtplib exceptions are based on Exception class

from smtplib:

class SMTPException(Exception):
    """Base class for all exceptions raised by this module."""

Shouldn't the base class be StandardError or a class derived from
StandardError?  I didn't want to file a bug without getting another
opinion.  

(I discovered it the hard way when my except StandardError block was
unable to deal with email errors.)
