OP here. The original question was because I wanted to trap timout
errors when connectiing to a POP3 server in a very simple little
program that collects mail and runs it through a filter before
delivering it.
Thus I simply needed to know what the 'name' of the exception was so I
could trap only timeouts.

Please acknowledge that this is *not* what you asked.
"I am using poplib.POP3_SSL() and I want to know what exceptions can be
thrown when I instantiate it. "
If you had just asked "What is the name of a possible timeout error"
someone would have answered just that.
