[Guido]
> I'm +1 on accepting this now -- anybody against?
I'm curious to know if you (Guido) remember why you removed this
feature in Python 0.9.6? From the HISTORY file:
"""
New features in 0.9.6:
- stricter try stmt syntax: cannot mix except and finally clauses on 1 try
"""
IIRC (and I may well not), half of people guessed wrong about whether
an exception raised in an "except:" suite would or would not skip
execution of the same-level "finally:" suite.
try:
1/0
except DivisionByZero:
2/0
finally:
print "yes or no?"
The complementary question is whether an exception in the "finally:"
suite will be handled by the same-level "except:" suites.
There are obvious answers to both, of course. The question is whether
they're the _same_ obvious answers across responders <0.7 wink>.
