Don't know about yasnippet, but with skeletons, you'd do:

(define-skeleton my-try-except
  "Insert a try..except template."
  nil
  \n "try {" > \n _ \n "} except ..." > \n)

And then you just select the lines you want to wrap and
do M-x my-try-except RET.
You'll probably also want to make this command more easily accessible,
e.g. by adding it to your abbrevs or some key binding.
