A litte bit more context. PEP 601: "Forbid return/break/continue breaking out of finally" https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0601/
Abstract This PEP proposes to forbid return, break and continue statements within a finally suite where they would break out of the finally. Their use in such a location silently cancels any active exception being raised through the finally, leading to unclear code and possible bugs. Continue is currently not supported in a finally in Python 3.7 (due to implementation issues) and the proposal is to not add support for it in Python 3.8. For return and break the proposal is to deprecate their use in Python 3.9, emit a compilation warning in Python 3.10 and then forbid their use after that.
