There are some modules like Decimal that make a promise to run on earlier versions of Python. In those cases only the first change (backwards compatible) should be made. Our 5,000 line Decimal package will need to wait for 3.0to use the except/as form :-(
Not a problem. Decimal doesn't use "except Exception, err" anywhere in those 5000 lines, as far as I can tell! :-) Mark
