TypeError: catching classes that do not inherit from BaseException is not allowed

[aroberge (André Roberge)]

It is better to inherit from Exception rather than BaseException
directly. Or even from one of the more specialised exception classes.

The docs say:

“programmers are encouraged to derive new exceptions from the Exception
class or one of its subclasses, and not from BaseException.”

Thanks. I was just using the info from the traceback; I should have search before answering. (And I should probably add this case to friendly-traceback…)
