There are some recomendations but I'll leave it to someone better qualified than me to respond. > Another question: > > My question is that: Can I raise a domain error like > OperationNotPermitted when raising instead of AttributeError ? You can raise any kind of error you like however, in general, using the standard error types is better because if your class gets using in another program that already handles the standard error type then your class will get handled too. But, if you raise a non standard error, it may slip through the net. (You can mitigate this by subclassing from the standard error that would normally be raised since catch will catch all subclasses as swell as the stated exception type.)
