I had to read that three times before I noticed the "with" after the "except".
Perhaps PEP 463 [1] could be resurrected on a limited basis, allowing
something like this:
with something_exceptionable() as f except SomeException ->
handle_setup_exception():
do_something_with(f)
and similar for the for statement. This can result in lengthy lines,
but it's going to be a bit awkward no matter what, and I feel a long
line is the simplest and most readable way to get past that
awkwardness. Plus, line continuations are a thing, which can make it
more readable.
