As the BDFOP for PEP 3151, I hereby accept it for inclusion into Python 3.3.

Congratulations to Antoine for producing a great PEP that has broad acceptance in the Python development community, with buy-in from all the major implementations of Python.  Antoine's branch is ready to go and it should now be merged into the default branch. PEP 3151 will bring some much needed sanity to this part of the standard exception hierarchy, and I for one look forward to being able to write code directly using it, one day finally eliminating most of my import errnos! Thanks Barry! I expect to merge the PEP 3151 into default soon (it's basically ready). cheers Antoine.

Thank you for having worked on this, it was a pretty huge amount of work. We'll probabily have to wait a long time before seeing libs/apps freely depending on this change without caring about backward compatibility constraints, but with this Python is a better language now.
