I'm prepared to concede this point (as if my opinion as a very junior 
member of the Python community counted for much :-) ).  Nick Coghlan and 
Steven D'Aprano made a very strong case in their posts.
My only real objection is that I would like consistency between "except" 
statements and "except" expressions.
But I suspect that you (plural), if you had the chance to rewrite 
history, would also want to disallow a bare "except" statement. (Would you?)
Nick, Steven, Ethan (and anybody else), are you willing to answer this 
question?
No offence intended, but I'm curious.  No, I should be honest: I'm 
hoping to score a debating point.
Best wishes,
Rob Cliffe
