[Python-Dev] suggestion for try/except program flow

I frequently have this situation: try: try: raise Thing except Thing, e: # handle Thing exceptions raise except: # handle all exceptions, including Thing It would be much more readable if there were a way to recatch a named exception with the generic (catch-all) except clause of its own try, something like this: try: raise Thing except Thing, e: # handle Thing exceptions recatch except: # handle all exceptions, including Thing
