It's a matter of historical timing: PEP 343 was written before try/except/finally was allowed, when try/finally and try/except were still distinct statements. However, PEP 341 was *also* accepted and implemented for Python 2.5, allowing for the modern try/except/finally form: https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/2.5.html#pep-341-unified-try-except-finally ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <[email protected]> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39037> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
