No - finally already has a meaning, "do this always, even if an exception occurred before". The "else" clause is fired when a condition is not met: if condition: do something when condition is true else: do something when condition is not true while condition: do something when condition is true else: do something when condition is not met for x in iterable: do something with x else: do something when there are no more x You can think the above as: while there are still values in iterable: do something with the next value else: do something when there are no more items -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
