Since this isn't changing anything that's user facing (just making the
error handling more explicit) this is suitable for the maint branch.

Please read PEP 6. Maintenance branches are not the place for new
features. For an example why, consult almost any code that requires
Python 2.2 or later. Chances are you'll find, all over the place, code 
like:

try:
    True, False
except NameError:
    True, False = 1, 0
