/* This module provides the suite of standard class-based exceptions for

 * there was that if exceptions.py could not be imported for some reason,
 * the entire interpreter would abort.
 *
 * By moving the exceptions into C and statically linking, we can guarantee
 * that the standard exceptions will always be available.

"Python's standard exception class hierarchy.\n\
\n\
Before Python 1.5, the standard exceptions were all simple string objects.\n\
In Python 1.5, the standard exceptions were converted to classes organized\n\
into a relatively flat hierarchy.  String-based standard exceptions were\n\
optional, or used as a fallback if some problem occurred while importing\n\
the exception module.  With Python 1.6, optional string-based standard\n\
exceptions were removed (along with the -X command line flag).\n\
\n\
The class exceptions were implemented in such a way as to be almost\n\
completely backward compatible.  Some tricky uses of IOError could\n\
potentially have broken, but by Python 1.6, all of these should have\n\
been fixed.  As of Python 1.6, the class-based standard exceptions are\n\
now implemented in C, and are guaranteed to exist in the Python\n\
interpreter.\n\
\n\
Here is a rundown of the class hierarchy.  The classes found here are\n\
inserted into both the exceptions module and the `built-in' module.  It is\n\
recommended that user defined class based exceptions be derived from the\n\
`Exception' class, although this is currently not enforced.\n"

 * assumptions about the existence of any other exception class -- except
 * for TypeError, which can conditionally exist.
 *
 * Next, StandardError is created (which is quite simple) followed by
 * TypeError, because the instantiation of other exceptions can potentially
 * throw a TypeError.  Once these exceptions are created, all the others
 * can be created in any order.  See the static exctable below for the
 * explicit bootstrap order.
 *
 * All classes after Exception can be created using PyErr_NewException().
