Catch multiple exceptions in one line (except block)

Question

I know this works,

try:

    # do something that may fail

except:

    # do this if ANYTHING goes wrong

I know, even this works:

try:

    # do something that may fail

except IDontLikeYouException:

    # say please

except YouAreTooShortException:

    # stand on a laddertry:

    # do something that may fail

except IDontLikeYouException:

    # say please

except YouAreTooShortException:

    # stand on a ladder

But If I try to do the same thing inside two different exceptions, Like this :

try:

    # do something that may fail

except IDontLikeYouException:

    # say please

except YouAreBeingMeanException:

    # say please

I just want to know whether I can do this :

try:

    # do something that may fail

except IDontLikeYouException, YouAreBeingMeanException:

    # say please

Since it matches the syntax, it won't work for:

try:

    # do something that may fail

except Exception, e:

    # say please

Is there any way, so that I can catch two distinct exceptions?

Answer 1

From this python concept, 

An except clause may name multiple exceptions as a parenthesized tuple.

Example :

except (IDontLikeYouException, YouAreBeingMeanException) as e:

    pass

for python 2:

except (IDontLikeYouException, YouAreBeingMeanException), e:

    pass

In python 2.6, If you separate the exception from the variable with a comma will still work, Even in Python 2.7 it works. But in Python 3, it won't work. So, now you should be using 'as'
