try:
        result = x / y
except ZeroDivisionError as e:
        print e

Note different syntax using "except ... as ..."

e.message is deprecated here, but e.args[0] contains the same thing.

see http://docs.python.org/dev/3.0/whatsnew/2.6.html#pep-3110
and http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3110/
