> - throw() is a term taken from Java & C++. This was intended. There was much discussion about this for PEP 288 and this was more or less a concensus choice. The term is already associated with exceptions in other languages and it captures the concept of the raise occurring somewhere else (what is thrown at or into). It is simple, clear, and tends to suggest all the right things.
I have no doubt that someone can point out differing semantics in other languages but I don't care. The verbal cue is what we are after.
