.. versionadded:: 2.5
Deprecation of String Exceptions
================================
String Exceptions
=================
.. index:: single: BaseException (built-in exception)
All exceptions built into Python or provided in the standard library are derived
from :exc:`BaseException`.
String exceptions are still supported in the interpreter to allow existing code
to run unmodified, but this will also change in a future release.
.. versionchanged:: 2.6
All exceptions to be raised or caught must be derived from :exc:`BaseException`.
Trying to raise a string exception now raises :exc:`TypeError`.
