Try / Catch syntax

Python 2.7.10 (default, Jul 15 2017, 17:16:57) Pycharm 2017.3.3 Community build.

Newb question:

Is there a clean way to assign a group of exceptions to one variable, more than once, in an effort to give a two or more groups the same error? 

a = 10
b = 0

try:
c=a/b

#except (ZeroDivisionError, TypeError) as a:
#   raise Exception('The error was: %s’ %a)
except (NameError, MemoryError) as e:
    raise Exception('There is an error. The error is %s' %e)

When I uncomment the first exception I get: 

File "<input>", line 8
raise Exception('The error was: %s’ %a)
                                        ^
SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal

--Please forgive me if it's my syntax, but I just don't see it and this is a brand new language for me. Thank you

Here is your error: raise Exception('The error was: %s’ %a). This line has smart quotes. The interpreter only recognises real quotes: raise Exception('The error was: %s' %a)
