Hello,

I don't understand why this won't execute


import urllib.request as u
import socket
socket.setdefaulttimeout(10)

l = "http://img144.imageshack.us/my.php?image=koumakandg8.jpg"; # supposed to timeout

try:
    h = u.urlretrieve(l)
except u.URLError, e: # I tried u.e too, no effect.
    print(e)
except:
    print("other error")

The error :

...\Python>err.py
  File "...\err.py", line 8
    except u.URLError, e: # I tried u.e too, no effect.
                     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

In Python 3 it's:

    except u.URLError as e:

This a because in Python 2 people sometimes write:

    except OSError, IOError:

thinking that it will catch both OSError and IOError.
