when was that changed?

Python 2.4a3 (#1, Sep  3 2004, 11:32:03)
>>> StandardException
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
NameError: name 'StandardException' is not defined
>>> StandardError
<class exceptions.StandardError at 0x401a329c>
>>> issubclass(MemoryError, StandardError)
True
>>> issubclass(KeyboardInterrupt, StandardError)
True
>>> issubclass(SystemExit, StandardError)
False
>>> issubclass(StopIteration, StandardError)
False
>>> issubclass(ImportError, StandardError)
True
