New file, which is imported by the built-in module when python is

started with the -X option.  This file contains the definitions for
the built-in exception classes.

+"""Class based built-in exception hierarchy.
+
+This is an experimental new feature whereby all the standard built-in
+exceptions, traditionally string object, are replaced with classes.
+This gives Python's exception handling mechanism a more
+object-oriented feel.
+
+Most existing code should continue to work with class based
+exceptions.  Some tricky uses of IOError may break, but the most
+common uses should work.
+
+To use this new feature, start the python executable with the -X option.
+
+Here is a rundown of the class hierarchy.  You can change this by
+editing this file, but it isn't recommended.  The classes with a `*'
+are new with this feature and are not available unless class based
+exceptions are used.
