basic python questions

[nateastle at gmail.com]

So I implemented the exception spcified and in testing it returns:

DeprecationWarning: raising a string exception is deprecated

I am not to worried about depreciation warning however, out of
curiosity, what would the better way be to handle this? Is there a way
that (web site, help documentation, etc...) I would be able to find
this? I am running this in Python 2.5
