Since there is no Right or Wrong here, the "best" option
might be to offer both:
Raise whatever is Right for Python (that is, CamelCase)
raise PostgresSpecificError
but support catching lower case, too:
class postgres_specific_error(PostgresSpecificError):
pass
try:
something()
except postgres_specific_error:
print('lower case')
For the lower case one I would exactly copy what's used by
PostgreSQL itself.
Make sense ?
