How do people feel about code like this?

It seems trivial in this example to break it into two try blocks:
try:
name = input("Enter file name, or Ctrl-D to exit")
# On Windows, use Ctrl-Z [enter] instead.
except EOFError:
sys.exit()
try:
fp = open(name)
except IOError:
handle_bad_file(name)
else:
handle_good_file(fp)
All those extra lines to type, not on your life. Surely it would be
better written as a one liner?
