New submission from Peibolvig:

At point 9.8 of the 3.4.1 version documentation, ( 
https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/classes.html#exceptions-are-classes-too ), 
there is an example of two ways to use the 'raise' statement:
raise Class
raise Instance

The next two lines, state: 
"In the first form, Class must be an instance of type or of a class derived 
from it. The first form is a shorthand for: raise Class()"

That only says something about the first form twice.
I think that the correct way would be:
"In the first form, Class must be an instance of type or of a class derived 
from it. The SECOND form is a shorthand for: raise Class()"
