Re: [Python-ideas] Make return inside a finally a SyntaxError

Here are two examples of why allowing return inside a finally block is a bad idea:

def f(): try: return 3 finally: return 4

def f(): try: raise Exception() finally: return 4

I wouldn't call that a syntax error. Wouldn't you also have to forbid break, continue and, perhaps, yield? Isn't Python for consenting adults, or something like that? :-)
