From which class does the Exception class inherit?

In Python, the Exception class inherits from the base class BaseException. The hierarchy looks like this:

BaseException
 └── Exception
      └── ... (other exceptions)

BaseException is the root class for all exceptions, but typically, subclasses of Exception are used for error handling in code, as BaseException includes system exceptions like SystemExit, KeyboardInterrupt, which are usually not caught.

Example:

>>> Exception.__base__
<class 'BaseException'>
