In Python 3, you can catch an exception and bind it to a name with: try: ... except ValueError, KeyError as error: pass
In Python 2.5, that is written: try: ... except (ValueError, KeyError), error: pass and the "as error" form gives a SyntaxError. Python 2.6 and 2.7 accept either form. Is there any way to catch an exception and bind it to a name which will work across all Python versions from 2.5 onwards? I'm pretty sure there isn't, but I thought I'd ask just in case. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
