Fixes #3772

Still needs a test.

raise RuntimeError("'{}' has non-Name name.".format(ast27.dump(item)))

vs = [produce_name(h) for h in handlers]
self.fail("Sorry, `except <expr>, (<tuple>)` is not supported", item.lineno, item.col_offset)

This could be something other than a tuple however. For example, this works fine at runtime:

try:
    raise Exception('foo', 'bar')
except Exception, [a, b]:
    print a, b  # prints foo bar

Perhaps just "Unsupported exception handler syntax ...". If you want a specific warning, you can check that the item.name is an ast27.Tuple or ast27.List.

I'll change it to except <expr>, <anything but a name> -- it's syntactically an assignment target. I still don't think it's worth trying to support other syntax -- we just need to not crash.

Sorry, yes it needs tests. I meant the changes look good (beyond needing tests).

Travis flaked on 3.7, so I restarted it.
