I dont think I would use this based on a survey of 16 cases over 35k lines
here.....
The proposed syntax could be easily used 11 times. 10 of those are the 'or
None' variant and account for platform-specific modules. 2 of those
currently issue a warning about the missing module in the exception branch,
but I guess I could live without that.
Two other cases uses a different fallback value other than None; one a
string literal, and the other 'object'.
The remaining three cases do not really fit the proposed syntax. They are
currently in the form:
try:
import xxx
except ImportError:
recovery actions
else:
do something with xxx
