   Except the default is not to raise exceptions.   
      
   Python makes it easy to catch exceptions. Not only that, it makes it easy   
   to filter the ones you want to catch, by a) subclassing so you can be more   
   specific, and b) if even that is not enough, you can query parameters of   
   the exception object and do a “raise” statement without arguments to pass   
   it on if your handler doesn’t want to handle it.
