I think we got agreement on that too (in some import related 
thread on this list).

Hmmm, well I can't find exceptions.py mentioned specifically. 
But I do find the BDFL advocating writing as much as possible 
of the start-up code in Python (eg, the equivalent of getpath.c) 
and freezing it in. In his absence, it makes sense for us to 
include exceptions.py in that statement <wink>.
