This syntax actually has a benefit: the parenthesized syntax after 
except could become a list, to allow handling different exceptions from 
the tried expression with different results:

msg = seq[dictionary[i]] except (IndexError: "nothing", KeyError: 
"serious problems")

And still allows nesting:

msg = seq[i] except (IndexError: dictionary[i] except (KeyError: "no 
fallback data for %s" % i))
