      The proposed patch fixes wording of documentation, comments, etc which use the term 'throw' instead of 'raise' in context of exception raising.

      This is talking about a C++ exception and therefore "throw" is correct.

      I found one error. In Lib/email/header.py for 2.7 'raise' should be
      reverted to 'throw'.

      Also I miss a past form. Second patch replaces 'threw' with 'raised'.
