But Wikipedia aren't charging people to see the work you contributed for free. That's a significant difference.

That's unfair. Java did everyone a huge favour by giving a practical demonstration of why (mandatory) checked exceptions are awful.
That article isn't really advocating handling _all_ errors as values AFAICS - it just doesn't distinguish between _exceptional_ and _normal but unsuccessful_ paths.
For a wrapper around an HTTP transport, returning HTTP responses instead of raising an exception for stuff like "403 Forbidden" is probably reasonable. Their own example code is full of exceptions, though.

Maybe, but (apart from the "Accidental Immortalisation" case mentioned in PEP 683) these things are created deliberately by C extensions.
A sane extension shouldn't be building loads of them on the fly in the first place.
