you mean that:
try:
    	raise exceptionC()
except exceptionA, ex:
    	print "gotcha"

gets the exception, yes.

yes. and you have the correct order: subclasses first, and below the 
baseclass. (otherwise the baseclass would catch everything)

PS: i would start class names, like ExceptionB with capital letters. coding 
style conventions - you know.
