However, the fact that else exists generates a regrettable asymmetry

Stressing the analogy to try/except/else one more time, it's as if
"else" wasn't available for try blocks. You could always use a flag to
substitute for it:
dealt_with_exception = False
try:
do_stuff()
except:
deal_with_exception()
dealt_with_exception = True
if dealt_with_exception:
do_stuff_you_would_do_in_an_else_block()
Even worse when we think about the "finally" clause.
