"""Class based built-in exception hierarchy. This is a new feature whereby all the standard built-in exceptions, traditionally string objects, 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 disable this 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. They are defined as tuples containing the derived exceptions when string-based exceptions are used.
