What makes you think operators qualify as exceptions?

>>> type(operator.add)
<type 'builtin_function_or_method'>

If you're talking about the character used to represent that operator
- well, I don't think there's any way to derive the underlying object
from that character.

In fact, that's true for everything else you list. Maybe the properly
refined version of Terry's statement should be:

        Everything you can manipulate is an instance of a class or a
        type.
