exception problem

[Charles Hixson]

The code:
                print    ("pre-chunkLine")
                chunks    =    []
                try:
                    chunks    =    self.chunkLine (l)
                except:
                    print    ("caught exception")
                    print (sys.exc_info()[:2])
                finally:
                    print ("at finally")
                print ("chunks =")
                print (repr(chunks), ".", end = ":")
produces this result:
  . . ., by
pre-chunkLine
caught exception
at finally
path  3...

Any suggestions as to what's wrong with the code?
FWIW, chunkLine begins:
    def chunkLine (self, line):
        print    ("chunkLine: ")
        print ("line = ", line)
        if    line == None:
            return    []
        assert    (isinstance (line, str) )
