Description

a quick look at the standard python library's exception hierarchy ( ​http://docs.python.org/library/exceptions.html#exception-hierarchy ) will show that in all but a few special cases, exceptions should subclass StandardError. all of django's exceptions subclass the parent class of StandardError, Exception. In addition to being good practice to keep a clean class hierarchy, coders accustomed to catching StandardError may have unexpected results when using django.

exception Exception

All built-in, non-system-exiting exceptions are derived from this class. All user-defined exceptions should also be derived from this class.
