remove sqlalchemy.exceptions entirely

[Former user]

>>> from sqlalchemy.exceptions import OperationalError
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named exceptions

Since there is an alias for sqlalchemy.exc, I'd would expect this to work.

SQLAlchemy v0.7.5[BR] Python v2.7.2[BR] System Arch Linux[BR]

It's been called sqlalchemy.exc since version 0.5 which was first released in January, 2009. Perhaps you can correct your code to use sqlalchemy.exc ? exceptions is there for some very old backwards compatibility concerns.

It's not my code, that's the real problem. The code (cjklib) broke with 0.7, it worked before.[BR]

As there is an alias for the exceptions package, I would expect the import to work but it's reasonable to expect users to update their code every 3 years. :)[BR]

Feel free to close the ticket, I just didn't find a ticket about this with the official response.

Yeah there's a note here about the sys.modules alias being removed, so I guess in 0.8 we have to remove this in hardcore mode to eliminate confusion:
