calendar.py ( lines 17,18 )  is not used :

# Exception raised for bad input (with string parameter for details)
error = ValueError

This could either be deleted OR used as the superclass in the next two class declarations as the comment suggests.

I am submitting a patch file, hope this works. Please review it and correct me if I am wrong anywhere as this is my first contribution.

Looks like "error" was unused since https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/acdc0b9a6c78#l2.48 (see also  https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/6ee380349c84/ for time.gmtime()). LGTM.

I suppose that calendar.error is here for compatibility. It is an alias to ValueError, so that errors raised by the calendar module can be catched with the "except calendar.error:" statement. Making calendar.error different class will likely break user code. I am inclined to reject this patch.
