Strange. I thought this was supposed to be fixed? (But I can confirm that it isn't.)
BTW there's another bug in the compiler: it doesn't diagnose this inside "while 0".

the language reference says:
continue may only occur syntactically nested in a for or while loop, but not nested in a function or class definition or finally statement within that loop. /.../ It may occur within an except or else clause. The restriction on occurring in the try clause is implementor's laziness and will eventually be lifted. and it looks like the new compiler still has the same issue: $ python test.py File "test.py", line 5: continue SyntaxError: 'continue' not supported inside 'finally' clause how hard would it be to fix this ? (shouldn't the "try clause" in the note read "finally clause", btw? "continue" within the "try" suite seem to work just fine...)
