The "Built-in Exceptions" page of the Python 2.7 documentation is missing descriptions for BufferError, IndentationError, and TabError.

I've gone ahead and added a brief description of each error to the page.

Just realized I previously attached the entire file. Here is the diff instead.

[birkenfeld]

Basically fine, but the docs for indentation and tab error should document their inheritance more explicitly.

[flashk]

I just attached a new patch that explicitly mentions the inheritance of IndentationError and TabError.
