Does anybody know why it's not possible to raise Exceptions which are types (new-style-classes). I know all standard exceptions are classic classes, but if you make a custom exception which both inherits from a exception class and a new-style one the it causes a type error when raised.

>>> class b(Exception, object): pass

This might not help you, but have you considered just making your old-style class *contain a reference* to an instance of whatever new-style class you want it to contain? Then the issue goes away.

I can't actually think of a reason to need to base an
exception on a new-style class, but perhaps you have a
good one...
