Why no 'elif' in try/except?

[Carsten Gaebler]

Hi there!

How about adding an 'elif' to try/except? I.e.:

try:
  res = dosomethingnasty()
except:
  complain()
elif res == 1:
  behappy()

instead of

try:
  res = dosomethingnasty()
except:
  complain()
else:
  if res == 1:
    behappy()

Any opinions?

Regards
Carsten.
