Before python 2.5, a try block could not have both an except and finally
block. (See
http://docs.python.org/reference/compound_stmts.html#the-try-statement).
In pre-2.5 python, you can get around this using two nested try blocks.
try:
try:
blah()
except:
yada()
finally:
something()
So there are two ways to resolve this: Use a newer version of python, or
change the code to use two nested try blocks.
