briancurtin on Django and Python 3

The following will work across 3 and 2 versions going back pretty far. It's necessary if you want to support pre-2.5 versions (where `as` was introduced):

    import sys
    try:
        fn()
    except (IOError, TypeError):
        err = sys.exc_info()[1]
        print(err)

Still kind of ugly, and not something which you want to litter than Django sources. Especially if you are going to put them all back when 2.4 support is dropped.
