Summary: except: grammar is incorrect
Initial Comment:
In the Python Language Reference manual, it shows the try-
except grammar as:
try_exc_stmt::= "try" ":"
suite
("except" [expression ["," target]] ":"
suite)+
This implies that this is a valid except
stanza:
except TypeError or VaueError or
KeyError:
This syntax does not produce any errors, but it
doesn't work as one would expect either. It only "excepts" the first
exception in the expression; i.e. TypeError in this
example.
I am assuming the grammar doc just needs to be
updated and this is not the intented syntax for except.
