Java calls this IllegalStateException so I would suggest IllegalStateError.
Looking at other exceptions that Java has, it would also be nice to
have UnsupportedOperationError (I have used NotImplementedError for this
but that suggests it might someday be implemented).
On the other hand, as you
What's wrong with defining a custom exception? It's literally one line:
`class InvalidStateError(Exception): pass`. Two lines if you want to put

The built in exceptions are ones that are raised by the core interpreter.
Even the stdlib doesn't get builtin exceptions,
