The comma syntax isn't supported in Python 3, so it'll be a barrier to migration. It's also a bit less clear if you catch multiple exception types in a single handler, which also uses a comma (to make a tuple). Also, the 'as' syntax matches up with similar syntax for 'with' and 'import' statements. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
