python re-raise exception

refer http://www.ianbicking.org/blog/2007/09/re-raising-exceptions.html

def exception():
  raise ValueError('A very specific bad thing happend')

def callException():
#  exception()
  try:
    exception()
  except ValueError, e:
    print str(e)
    raise 

def main():
  callException()

if __name__ == '__main__': main()

Using  raise  with no arguments re-raises the last exception. Sometimes people give a blank  never use “except:“  statement, but this particular form ( except:  +  raise ) is okay.
