In your formulation the comma binds more tightly than the as keyword. In import statements it's the other way around. That seems like it might be a source of confusion. Perhaps parentheses around the exception list should be mandatory for the 2-or-more exceptions case? except NameError as e: --> fine except (NameError) as e: --> fine except (NameError,) as e: --> fine except NameError, OtherError as e: --> SyntaxError except (NameError, OtherError) as e: --> fine

I don't like that particularly, but I guess that for consistency's sake it would have to be done this way.

Cheers, Georg
