I think it is useful to have them joined. Consider a contrived example: for i in (1,2,3,0,5,6): try: print 10 / i except: print 'Error in data' break else: print 'Data processed cleanly' Yes, you could use a flag variable instead: done = 1 for i in (1,2,3,0,5,6): try: print 10 / i except: print 'Error in data' done = 0 break if done: print 'Data processed cleanly' ...but that is not as clean imo.
