Put round brackets around the entire expression, then split where 
appropriate.

# Yes.
value = (some_long_expression except LongExceptionName:
         42)

# Or this
value = (some_long_expression 
         except LongExceptionName: 42)

# But not this:
value = (some_long
         expression except 
         LongExceptionName: 42)
