NameError conveys nothing to the user.
PythonVersionError is more communicative - and speaks volumes to 'us'.
The mainline code is something like:
p = PythonEnvironment()
try:
p.compatibility( ...spec... ) # eg must be Py3 not 2.n
except PythonVersionError:
print( more illuminating errmsg )
This is why tests should check for the exact error raised, not that any error
was raised. (That testing bug bit me a couple times before I learned that
lesson.)
