[py2py3] Python3 does not have an 'exceptions' module
**Impact of the bug**
WMCore in general

**Describe the bug**
Some of the python3 unit tests crash when importing `exceptions` module, see the full traceback in [1]

**How to reproduce it**
```
nosetests test/python/WMCore_t/WMSpec_t/Steps_t/Executors_t/LogArch_t.py
```

**Expected behavior**
Exception handling should be functional and consistent in python2 and python3.

**Additional context and error message**
[1]
```
