no module named exceptions?

[Joaquin Abian]

In python 3.1,
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#6>", line 1, in <module>
import exceptions
ImportError: No module named exceptions

in 2.6 no exception is raised
It should be the same in 3.1, isnt it?

This is what he is expecting. Importing exceptions works fine in 2.6.4, not
so
in python 3.1.
Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Nov  3 2009, 18:12:54)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646) (dot 1)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

It appears to have been removed between Python 3.1.2
(http://docs.python.org/py3k/modindex.html#cap-E) and Python 3.2a0
(http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/modindex.html#cap-E). Exactly why, I
don't know. I wasn't able to locate anything about it in a quick scan
of the Python 3000 PEPs.

Cheers,
Chris

In 2.x, the exceptions module was imported automatically, so there was
never a need to explicitly import it.
For example:
Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Dec 7 2009, 18:45:15)
[GCC 4.4.1] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.<type 'exceptions.ImportError'>


In Python 3.x, it appears the same effect is achieved by putting the
Exceptions in the builtin module
For example:
Python 3.1.1+ (r311:74480, Nov 2 2009, 14:49:22)
[GCC 4.4.1] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.<class 'ImportError'>

And another example:<class 'ImportError'>

The exceptions module doesn't exist in Python 3 but the documentation
had not been cleaned up until recently:
