try..catch..finally?

[Irmen de Jong]

Is there a reason why the finally clause cannot be used with the catch and 
else clauses?

I'd rather write

   try:
     print 1/0
   except:
     print 'oops!'
   finally:
     print 'afterwards'


instead of:

   try:
     try:
       print 1/0
     except:
       print 'oops!'
   finally:
     print 'afterwards'


It's no big problem really, one extra try block, but I'm just curious why
this is the case.
