What exactly is a "false exception"? I have never heard of such
a thing, and can't imagine what it might be. Python raises
exceptions, they are subclasses of Exception or (old-style)
strings, they have tracebacks, they come from a variety of
sources, there's lots of things to know about exceptions but
"falseness" is not something about which I'm aware...
