*.py: Hack around Python exception-catching syntax mismatch.

There's no common syntax to capture the current exception value between
Python 2.5 and 3: the former wants

	try: ...
	except EXCCLS, VAR: ...

while the latter wants

	try: ...
	except EXCCLS as VAR: ...

Give up and dig the exception value out of `sys.exc_info()' instead.
