That's odd. It works perfectly well when the source is a file, but not at the console. It is not sensitive to whether I use TAB or spaces.
>>> try:
...     print 1/0
... except ZeroDivisionError, e:
...     print "Ha!", e
...
Ha! integer division or modulo by zero
>>> try:
...     print 1/0
... except ZeroDivisionError as e:
  File "<stdin>", line 3
    except ZeroDivisionError as e:
                                 ^
SyntaxError: mismatched input '<EOF>' expecting INDENT

And the error message is strangely irrelevant.
