#1 NoSuchDomain error class needs to be added

[Samuel Huckins]

I came across rwhois.py and it seemed to be just what I needed! Came across an issue however. The NoSuchDomain error that is thrown (for example, in line 327 of rwhois.py v1.5) when a domain is not found is a string currently. Throwing string exceptions is deprecated. The currently recommended approach is to make a class for the error, subclassing Exception ( details: http://docs.python.org/tut/node10.html#SECTION0010500000000000000000 )

At runtime, a warning is thrown if the exception is thrown. So the error can still be caught, but it is something that should be addressed soon.

Thanks for a great tool!
