bpo-42669: Document that
except
rejects nested tuples (pythonGH-23822)
In Python 2, it was possible to use `except` with a nested tuple, and occasionally natural. For example, `zope.formlib.interfaces.InputErrors` is a tuple of several exception classes, and one might reasonably think to do something like this: try: self.getInputValue() return True except (InputErrors, SomethingElse): return False As of Python 3.0, this raises `TypeError: catching classes that do not inherit from BaseException is not allowed` instead: one must instead either break it up into multiple `except` clauses or flatten the tuple. However, the reference documentation was never updated to match this new restriction. Make it clear that the definition is no longer recursive. Automerge-Triggered-By: GH:ericvsmith
