11784	exceptions should sublcass StandardError, not Exception	anonymous	nobody	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.		closed	Core (Other)	1.1		wontfix	exception		Unreviewed	1	0	0	0	0	0
