Exceptions catching performance in python
<p>I know exceptions in python are fast when it comes to the <code>try</code> but that it may be expensive when it comes to the catch.</p>

<p>Does this mean that:</p>

<pre class="lang-py prettyprint-override"><code>try:
   some code
except MyException:
   pass
</code></pre>

<p>is faster than this ?</p>

<pre class="lang-py prettyprint-override"><code>try:
   some code
except MyException as e:
   pass
</code></pre>
