Does this help?

Python 2.2.1 (#34, Apr  9 2002, 19:34:33) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
IDLE 0.8 -- press F1 for help
 >>> def raiseit():
	raise Exception, 'This is the message string'

 >>> try:
	raiseit()
except Exception, s:
	print "Message is '%s'." % s

	
Message is 'This is the message string'.
