[Python-Dev] 'continue'/'break'/'return' inside 'finally' clause (original) (raw)

I'm sorry, I don't think more research can convince me either way. I want all three of return/break/continue to work inside finally clauses, despite there being few use cases.

Yes, I was looking at was git revision bcf4f65e. I reran my AST checker and found this: ./src/gevent/ffi/loop.py: 181: return inside finally > In any case we now know that this combination is occurred (but > very rarely) in the wild. Looks like it. If we do want to seriously consider changing the grammar, I will download more packages of PyPI and check them. BTW, ./src/gevent/threadpool.py doesn't compile with 3.7 because it uses 'async' as a variable name. So either they didn't notice the deprecation warnings or they didn't care to update their code.
