def divide(x, y):
   ...     try:
   ...             result = x / y
   ...     except ZeroDivisionError:
   ...             print('division by zero!')
   ...     else:
   ...             print('result is', result)
   ...     finally:
   ...             print('executing finally clause')
   ...
divide(2, 1)
   result is 2.0
   executing finally clause
divide(2, 0)
New submission from Viorel Tabara:

At https://docs.python.org/3.5/tutorial/errors.html#defining-clean-up-actions 
when I'm running the "divide('2', '1')" example I get:

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

instead of the documentation output of:

   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? 

The same message is included with the 2.7 tutorial.

To wit:

Nice tutorial by the way ;) Thanks!
