The "Builtin Exceptions" page does not document the constructors of the listed exception classes. All it says is

> The tuple of arguments given to the exception constructor. Some built-in exceptions (like OSError) expect a certain number of arguments and assign a special meaning to the elements of this tuple, while others are usually called only with a single string giving an error message.

This is quite vague and does not really guide users for individual exception classes.
