raise NameTooShortError(name) works without any constructor and prints out the value into the console? How come?

[arkster]

What are the thoughts about adding a __str__ method in the NameTooShortError class and then returning 'Name too short' . Wouldn't the error message string come across appropriately as defined in the class when the exception is raised?
