Deriving from Exception

[pixie888 at hotmail.com]

Hi,

I have some classes which derive from Exception, however in the
__init__ function I do not call the __init__ function of Exception
itself, allthough I think I should. The reason I don't do it is
because I see that in all the tutorials about Python the tutors
themselves don't do it either.

Can anybody tell me why?

Thanks,

Henk
