[Python] How can I catch multiple exceptions in one line? (in the "except" block)

I know that I can do:

try:
# do something that may fail
except:
# do this if ANYTHING goes wrong


I can also do this:

try:
# do something that may fail
except IDontLikeYouException:
# say please
except YouAreTooShortException:
# stand on a ladder


But if I want to do the same thing inside two different exceptions, the best I can think of right now is to do this:

try:
# do something that may fail
except IDontLikeYouException:
# say please
except YouAreBeingMeanException:
# say please


Is there a way that I can do something like this (since the action to take in both exceptions is to say please):

try:
# do something that may fail
except IDontLikeYouException, YouAreBeingMeanException:
# say please


Now this really won't work, as it matches the syntax for:

try:
# do something that may fail
except Exception, e:
# say please


So, my effort to catch the two distinct exceptions doesn't exactly come through.

Is there a way to do this?
