I know this might come through as bike shedding but it's just customary python that every module have it's own exception types as to not mix them up with others.
Not in my Python world it isn't. While that is sometimes the right answer, more often the right answer is to properly scope your try/except statement in order to avoid catching exceptions from code you aren't interested in. If you end up stuck with a library call that lacks both granularity and specificity of exceptions then you live with it (and maybe file a bug report/feature request with the library author).
Cheers, Nick.
