I do appreciate your response. I'd like you to examine how the "else" in
question isn't relevant to the discussion of return or raise:

>>> for i in range(10):
...     print(1/0)
... else:
...     print(100)
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 2, in <module>
ZeroDivisionError: int division or modulo by zero
>>>
>>> def eggs():
...     for i in range(10):
...             return 1234
...     else:
...             print(69)
...
>>> eggs()
1234
>>>
