Typically you have an idea what kind of exceptions you expect to get from an operation, and which of those exceptions you are interested in handling. Most of your try/except blocks will be targeted, like handling KeyError from d[k], an operation that will never raise an ExceptionGroup. ExceptionGroups will only be raised by specific APIs which will advertise themselves as such. We don't expect that there will be a need for blanket migrations of "except T" to "except (T, ExceptionGroup)" to "except *T". Irit
