It would be nice to have a future import to be able to prevent people in code doing: try: .... except Exception, e: .... and make people do: try: .... except Exception as e: ....

If you run python with the -3 flag you should get a warning about that. If you combine it with -We you should be able to get an error instead of a warning. Note however that both the flags are not specific for the "except" but also generate/affect other warnings as well.

Unfortunately, that would be a new feature, so it is not acceptable to Python 2.7.
