An expression-less :keyword:`!except` clause, if present, must be last;
it matches any exception.
For an :keyword:`!except` clause with an expression,
that expression is evaluated, and the clause matches the exception

Furthermore, this expression cannot contain exception group types, because that would
have ambiguous semantics.
It is not possible to mix :keyword:`except` and :keyword:`!except*`
