  Fix syntax error introduced by Neal in last checkin.
........

(a) "except E, V" -> "except E as V"
(b) V is now limited to a simple name (local variable)
(c) V is now deleted at the end of the except block

(with one small bugfix in bgen/bgen/scantools.py)

This replaces string module functions with string methods
for the stuff in the Tools directory. Several uses of
string.letters etc. are still remaining.
