except AttributeError, TypeError:

[Thorsten Kampe]

What is the best way to except two errors, when the except handling in
both cases is the same?

"except:" would just except every error and not just those I want.

except Attribute error:
do_much_stuff
except TypeError:
do_the_same_stuff

is bad because of the duplication and

def do_it():
do_much_stuff
except Attribute error:
do_it()
except TypeError:
do_it()

would work but is rather unelegant? What is the best way to except to
errors with the same exception handling?
