Your code is right; the latest official release of pychecker doesn't  
support Python 2.5.
The exception hierarchy has changed a little, now you have BaseException  
-> Exception -> all standard exceptions. KeyboardInterrupt and SystemExit  
are now direct subclasses of BaseException, not of Exception.
According to the changelog [1] the development version does support 2.5
