The "as" keyword is not accepted in a try ... except construct. This should be available from Python 2.6.

>>> try:
...     f = open("x.tmp")
... except IOError as ex:
  File "<stdin>", line 3
    except IOError as ex:
                        ^
SyntaxError: mismatched input '<EOF>' expecting INDENT

A comma is acceptable to Jython for the same purpose.

Possibly an easy grammar fix since the code generation does not have to change. A test is clearly missing.
