[issue25819] print "Hi" in python 3 exception handling doesn't work

[Emanuel Barry]

Emanuel Barry added the comment:

The reason you are experiencing this behviour is because of the way Python works. Python needs to compile your code before it can execute it. It parses the code, sees an invalid token ('print "Hi"'), fails to compile and throws an error. Your code never gets executed because Python is not able to compile it in the first place. Try adding a print call before the try-except block and you'll see it never gets executed either :)
