As usual, by adding an additional name after the exception specification:

         try:
             self.gses = opener.open(req)
         except (urllib2.HTTPError,urllib2.URLError), exdata:
             do something with exdata ...


Pedantically speaking, of course, you aren't catching two exceptions at 
once because they don't occur simultaneously: you are writing a 
statement that catches either of two exceptions.
