no module named exceptions?

[Joaquin Abian]

In python 3.1,

>>> import exceptions
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#6>", line 1, in <module>
import exceptions
ImportError: No module named exceptions

in 2.6 no exception is raised
It should be the same in 3.1, isnt it?

It appears to have been removed between Python 3.1.2
(http://docs.python.org/py3k/modindex.html#cap-E) and Python 3.2a0
(http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/modindex.html#cap-E). Exactly why, I
don't know. I wasn't able to locate anything about it in a quick scan
of the Python 3000 PEPs.

Cheers,

In 2.x, the exceptions module was imported automatically, so there was
never a need to explicitly import it.
For example:
Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Dec 7 2009, 18:45:15)
[GCC 4.4.1] on linux2

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> print ImportError
<type 'exceptions.ImportError'>

In Python 3.x, it appears the same effect is achieved by putting the
Exceptions in the builtin module
For example:
Python 3.1.1+ (r311:74480, Nov 2 2009, 14:49:22)
[GCC 4.4.1] on linux2

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> print(ImportError)
<class 'ImportError'>

And another example:
>>> import builtins
>>> print(builtins.ImportError)
<class 'ImportError'>

The exceptions module doesn't exist in Python 3 but the documentation
had not been cleaned up until recently:
