What would be nice is a way to define in Python a kind of exception that is not caught by bare "except:" statements but only by "except SpecificClass:" statements. Not quite an uncatchable exception, but one that is caught only by except statements that name it.
I'm skeptical about this one. Can you explain the use case? You can probably fake this to a large extent by using "except Exception:" instead of "except:" everywhere; then you can raise an exception that does not inherit from Exception. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
