In the Python 3 docs for the raise statement, http://docs.python.org/py3k/reference/simple_stmts.html#the-raise-statement,the docs say "If no exception is active in the current scope, a TypeError exception is raised indicating that this is an error (if running under IDLE, a queue.Empty exception is raised instead). This is wrong in Python 3 because raise raises a RuntimeError and IDLE does the same (does not raise a queue.Empty Exception). The text should be "If no exception is active in the current scope, a RuntimeError exception is raised indicating that this is an error."
