It does actually handle this already:

--- /tmp/t.py (original)
+++ /tmp/t.py (refactored)
@@ -1,4 +1,4 @@
 try:
     pass
-except Exception, e:
-    print e
+except Exception as e:
+    print(e)
RefactoringTool: Files that need to be modified:
RefactoringTool: /tmp/t.py

If we need to make changes that either don't work under 2.[456] or
that make the code worse, and that are simple to automate, we would be
better off putting that into 2to3 than doing it once-off through a
search and replace.
