[Tutor] try..except - what about that ton of **Error statements?

Thanks. Since I'm new at this the error lists I saw just had the bald
names, which didn't tell me much. But I found a concise and basic
explanation of each error at
http://python.about.com/od/pythonstandardlibrary/a/lib_exceptions.htm

Although it's still a bit circular at my level. I won't be sure what
errors to raise until I see enough errors, but that will come with
experience, I guess. Now I just have to figure how to print the list
out without the ads ;')
