The change below was rolled back because it broke other stuff. But IMO
it is actually necessary to fix this, otherwise those few exceptions
that don't derive from Exception won't be printed correctly by the
traceback module:

New Revision: 43299

Modified:
   python/trunk/Lib/traceback.py
Log:
Revert r42719, because the isinstance() check wasn't redundant; formatting a
string exception was causing a TypeError.
