New submission from maniram maniram <maniandra...@gmail.com>:

In the Python 3 docs for the raise statement, 
http://docs.python.org/py3k/reference/simple_stmts.html#the-raise-statement,the 
docs say "If no exception is active in the current scope, a TypeError exception 
is raised indicating that this is an error (if running under IDLE, a 
queue.Empty exception is raised instead).

This is wrong in Python 3 because raise raises a RuntimeError and IDLE does the 
same (does not raise a queue.Empty Exception).

The text should be "If no exception is active in the current scope, a 
RuntimeError exception is raised indicating that this is an error."
