Obviously nothing is getting assigned to `foo`.
As a side note, I have, occasionally, wanted to be able to resume a function after handling an exception (the use case was to turn a synchronous outer function calling an asynchronous callback into an asynchronous function), which - needless to say - is impossible in CPython. In a hypothetical implementation that would allow such a thing, having the raise return a value in such a scenario might not be unreasonable. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/5HOAGGI2S6F3T6GTP76Y33WBWZW4GZ3O/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
