is this what you're asking for?:

try:
    f = open('/tmp/blah.txt')
except IOError, e:
    print "SPAM!",e

this will let you catch _just_ an IOError (like no, such file or dir)
but you can also replace the except line with:

except (IOError, AssertionError),e:

if you want to catch multiple types of exceptions on this line.
