+In Python 3.4, the interpreter is able to identify the known non-text
+encodings provided in the standard library and direct users towards these
+general purpose convenience functions when appropriate::

+    >>> b"abcdef".decode("hex_codec")
     Traceback (most recent call last):

 In a related change, whenever it is feasible without breaking backwards
 compatibility, exceptions raised during encoding and decoding operations
 will be wrapped in a chained exception of the same type that mentions the
 name of the codec responsible for producing the error::
 
-    >>> b"hello".decode("uu_codec")
-    ValueError: Missing "begin" line in input data
+    >>> codecs.decode(b"abcdefgh", "hex_codec")
+    binascii.Error: Non-hexadecimal digit found
 
     The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
