A couple of times I got the following to work. Now I just get an exception.

 >>> class n(str):pass
 >>> raise n, 'tst'
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: exceptions must be strings, classes, or instances, not type

Why would the same code work, then fail?
