BUG? error retrieving argument of user-defined exception

[Scott Lowrey]

(Sorry if this is an inappropriate format but I want people to be able 
to just plug the test into their database and run it.)

The following exception test - using a builtin exception - works fine:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<extension class="python.ExceptionTest" kind="test">
  <argument name="exception_class">
    <text>AssertionError</text>
  </argument>
  <argument name="exception_argument">
    <text>'this is the arg'</text>
  </argument>
  <argument name="source">
    <text>raise AssertionError('this is the arg')
</text>
  </argument>
  <argument name="prerequisites">
    <set/>
  </argument>
  <argument name="target_group">
    <text>.*</text>
  </argument>
  <argument name="resources">
    <set/>
  </argument>
</extension>

This one - using a user-defined exception - fails to find the exception 
value:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<extension class="python.ExceptionTest" kind="test">
  <argument name="exception_class">
    <text>MyExc</text>
  </argument>
  <argument name="exception_argument">
    <text>'this is the arg'</text>
  </argument>
  <argument name="source">
    <text>class MyExc(Exception):
    def __init__(self, value):
        self.value = value
    def __str__(self):
        return repr(self.value)

raise MyExc('this is the arg')
</text>
  </argument>
  <argument name="prerequisites">
    <set/>
  </argument>
  <argument name="target_group">
    <text>.*</text>
  </argument>
  <argument name="resources">
    <set/>
  </argument>
</extension>

The error from QMTest is:
