From http://docs.python.org/3.4/library/exceptions.html: "... programmers are encouraged to at least derive new exceptions from the Exception class and not BaseException." This wording had someone I've talked to recently thinking that user-defined exceptions should inherit *directly* from Exception. Suggested rewording, dropping the "at least" qualification that as far as I can tell serves no real purpose: "... programmers are encouraged to derive new exceptions from the Exception class or one of its subclasses, and not from BaseException." |

In my reading “at least” means that exceptions should derive from Exception if they don’t derive from a more specific subclass. IOW the same meaning as your proposed wording, but less clear. +1 to your rewording. |
