Whoops - my fault.  The local module name for the error class is just
"error".  So use "win32api.error" in your exception instead of
"api_error" and you should be fine.

It's a little confusing (clearly I forgot :-)), because when
displayed, the error will show up as pywintypes.api_error or just
api_error, but the actual error class is defined in each individual
module as just "error".
