title: try except syntax error
body: <p>I have a problem with the next code.</p>
  
  <pre><code>try: 1+1
  except Exception as exception: pass
  1+1
  try: 2+2
  except Exception as exception: pass
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The result I get in the prompt is </p>
  
  <pre><code>... ...   File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 3
      1+1
      ^
  SyntaxError: invalid syntax
  &gt;&gt;&gt; ... ... ... 4
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However the next code executes with no error. </p>
  
  <pre><code>try: 1+1
  except Exception as exception: pass
  
  try: 2+2
  except Exception as exception: pass
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My <code>sys.version_info</code> is: </p>
  
  <pre><code>sys.version_info(major=2, minor=7, micro=3, releaselevel='final', serial=0)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why do I get the syntax error?</p>
