As a compromise, given that we're not going to take the time to be precise (well, I'm sure not ...):
The optional \keyword{else} clause is executed if and when control flows off the end of the \keyword{try} clause.\foonote{In Python 2.0, control "flows off the end" except in case of exception, or executing a \keyword{return}, \keyword{continue} or \keyword{break} statement.} Exceptions in the \keyword{else} clause are not handled by the preceding \keyword{except} clauses.
Now it's all of imprecise, almost precise, specific to Python 2.0, and robust against any future changes <wink>.
Sounds good to me. The reference to 2.0 could be changed to "Currently". --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
