I'm sure it could. But there aren't many use-cases. Look at the one example I was able to find in the stdlib: http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0463/#capturing-the-exception-object It's hardly a shining example of the value of the proposal. Got any really awesome demo that requires 'as'? Most of the supporting examples use something like KeyError where it's simply "was an exception thrown or not".
