You are importing your main script elswhere. Your code then
effectively becomes
try:
# in another module
raise village.SomethingBuiltError
except __main__.SomethingBeingBuiltError:
print "caught"
i. e. you get two versions of every class that are built from the same code
but not (recognized as) identical.
Solution: move your startup code into a separate file and have it import the
village module.
