I like it, but wonder about the false parallels below. My initial reaction is it's not worth worrying about as it's easy to learn as part of the import or except statements, and should do the right thing. Nobody would expect the second import to rename both items to q, and the first except clause would be a SyntaxError.

from foo import bar as b, quux as q
except TypeError as te, IndexError as ie

from foo import bar, quux as q
except TypeError, IndexError as e
