I don't have Python 25 on my computer, but since codepad.org is using Python 2.5.1, I did a quick test:
# input try: raise Exception("Mrraa!") except Exception as msg: print msg # output t.py:3: Warning: 'as' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6 Line 3 except Exception as msg: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax ######### Well that's interesting. as isn't a keyword yet in Python 2.5. This works though, and I think it fits the specification in the documentation. # input try: raise Exception("Mrraa!") except Exception, msg: # Notice it's a comma print msg # output Mrraa! ############## Hope that helps, Xav
