The Python Tutorial describes the first argument to the raise statement as follows: """ This must be either an exception instance or an exception class (a class that derives from Exception). """ https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/errors.html#raising-exceptions However, the Python Language Reference states, that exceptions should be a subclass or instance of BaseException. https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#grammar-token-python-grammar-raise_stmt I think it would be correct, to adapt the Tutorial to match the Reference.
