Two exception classes that are not related via subclassing are never equivalent, even if they have the same name.</p> <p id="index-1">The built-in exceptions listed below can be generated by the interpreter or built-in functions. Except where mentioned, they have an “associated value” indicating the detailed cause of the error. This may be a string or a tuple containing several items of information (e.g., an error code and a string explaining the code). The associated value is the second argument to the <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/simple_stmts.html#raise"><tt class="xref std std-keyword docutils literal"><span class="pre">raise</span></tt></a> statement. If the exception class is derived from the standard root class <a class="reference internal" href="#exceptions.BaseException" title="exceptions.BaseException"><tt class="xref py py-exc docutils literal"><span class="pre">BaseException</span></tt></a>, the associated value is present as the exception instance’s <tt class="xref py py-attr docutils literal"><span class="pre">args</span></tt> attribute.</p> <p>User code can raise built-in exceptions. This can be used to test an exception handler or to report an error condition “just like” the situation in which the interpreter raises the same exception; but beware that there is nothing to prevent user code from raising an inappropriate error.</p> <p>The built-in exception classes can be sub-classed to define new exceptions; programmers are encouraged to at least derive new exceptions from the <a class="reference internal" href="#exceptions.Exception" title="exceptions.Exception"><tt class="xref py py-exc docutils literal"><span class="pre">Exception</span></tt></a> class and not <a class="reference internal" href="#exceptions.BaseException" title="exceptions.BaseException"><tt class="xref py py-exc docutils literal"><span class="pre">BaseException</span></tt></a>.
