R. David Murray added the comment:
Agreed with Terry. The general policy in Python is that we let errors bubble
up unless there is a good reason to do something else with them. And errors
that bubble up are not, in general, documented. (In short, Python is not Java
:)

I disagree. The docs only sporadically mention specific exceptions for
specific functions. UnicodeDecodeError can occur any place bytes are decoded
to unicode. I think this should be closed.
Builtin exceptions are documented in
https://docs.python.org/3/li
