New submission from Hong Xu <h...@topbug.net>:

The "Builtin Exceptions" page does not document the constructors of the listed 
exception classes. All it says is

> The tuple of arguments given to the exception constructor. Some built-in 
> exceptions (like OSError) expect a certain number of arguments and assign a 
> special meaning to the elements of this tuple, while others are usually 
> called only with a single string giving an error message.

This is quite vague and does not really guide users for individual exception 
classes.
