I think as a general recommendation it is not such a good idea that we should specifically mention it. (Is it in PEP 8 too? If so it should be removed there too.)
It's a pattern that is sometimes helpful, sometimes not. I don't think that people need to hear about it from the official docs about exceptions. People can learn from the standard exception hierarchy that sometimes it's useful to have a common base class *for exceptions that are related in some way*, in particular if there would be a reason to catch all of them with the same handler.
So I'm in agreement with Nathaniel M here. |
