Re: [Python-Dev] suggestion for try/except program flow

I frequently have this situation:

try: try: raise Thing except Thing, e: # handle Thing exceptions raise except: # handle all exceptions, including Thing

This seems like an unusual pattern. Are you sure you can't use try: raise Thing except Thing, e: # handle Thing exceptions raise finally: # handle *all situations*, including Thing Obviously, the finally: block is also invoked in the case that no exceptions are triggered, but often this is what you want anyway...
