UserWarnings are not Errors

[brynpickering]

What happened?

The most common error type that is raised in the code is a UserWarning. This class should not be used as an exception, but as a type of warning for e.g. warnings.warn("my message", UserWarning). Instead the appropriate exception class should be used, e.g. ValueError, KeyError, TypeError... Or a PamError should be created which subclasses Exception.
