Great! Patch is uploaded at http://bugs.python.org/issue1537 The patch changes the definition of GeneratorExit so that it extends BaseException, adds a generator test, updates exception_hierarchy.txt, and updates the exceptions page in the documentation. This is my first patch to Python -- did I miss anything?
