You just need to know how to reference ExpatError yourself. Doing a grep on the site-packages directory revealed that the most likely location of the ExpatError class is xml.parsers.expat. So, first you need to import that package: import xml.parsers.expat Then, you can refer to the class as an attribute of that package. Alternatively... from xml.parsers.expat import ExpatError ...lets you use the name directly. I think that it can be useful when making a library to make common exception classes attributes of certain principal classes/objects, in order to simplify this kind of situation and to avoid the need to find the originating module of some exception or other.
