Print info about exception in python 2.5?

Question

Python 2.5 won't let me use this syntax:

try: code_that_raises_exception() except Exception as e: print e raise

So how should I print information about an exception?

Thanks

EDIT: I'm writing a plugin for a program that includes kind of a pseudo python interpreter. It prints print statements but doesn't show exceptions at all.

the 'as' keyword is a python 3 (introduced in 2.6) addition, you need to use a comma:

try: code_that_raises_exception() except Exception, e: print e raise

@Mike Axiak, what if you want to catch different exceptions which I'd usually do like ValueError as Verr, NameError as Nerr,...?

except (ExceptionA, ExceptionB), e ?

try: codethatraises() except Exception, e: print e raise

not as easy to read as the latest and greatest syntax, but identical semantics.
