New submission from Dimitri Merejkowsky:
Motivation for the patch came from a tweet[1] of David Beazley:
def SomeError(Exception):
pass
raise SomeError('blah')
(Note the `def` keyword instead of `class`):
If you run that, you get:
> TypeError: exceptions must derive from BaseException
Which is not very helpful.
Attached patch changes the error message to be:
> TypeError: exceptions must derive from BaseException, got NoneType
(By the way, it's very close to what Python2 used to say in this case)
