[New-bugs-announce] [issue43149] Misleading error message for except with missing parens (3.10.a5)

[Andre Roberge]

New submission from Andre Roberge <andre.roberge at gmail.com>:

The following:

try:
    pass
except ValueError, NameError as err:
    pass

results in:

    except ValueError, NameError as err:
                     ^
SyntaxError: expected ':'

However, what is missing here are some parentheses surrounding the exception types.
