I see that you've solved your immediate problem, but you shouldn't call
__setattr__ directly. That should actually be written
setattr(bar, 'a_new_name', MyError)
But really, since bar is (apparently) a module, and it is *bar itself*
setting the attribute, the better way is
a_new_name = MyError
or even
from module.foo import MyError as a_new_name
