Hm, I think somewhere in the Python reference is stated that every exception
should be inhereted from exceptions.Exception, just because to have a generic
Superclass that could be excepted.
Overwriting issues are another thing, but I do not think that it is necessary
to call the constructor of the Superclass in this example.
