If your code blocks are a single statement, you can write:
try: import windows_module
     except ImportError: import unix_module
but most people will say that is ugly and be spread out:
try:
         import windows_module
     except ImportError:
         import unix_module
I can think of one use-case.

Suppose this:

     try:
         import windows_module as module
     except ImportError:
         import unix_module as module

could be shortened to this:

     import windows_module else unix_module as module

Not that I'm in favour of it, because it occurs too rarely to be worth a 
special syntax.
