Hi Sylvain
You should have a read of the python docs, specifically on try:
finally:
excerpt from docs. --
When a return, break or continue statement is executed in the try
suite of a try...finally statement, the finally clause is also
executed `on the way out.' A continue statement is illegal in the
finally clause. (The reason is a problem with the current
implementation -- this restriction may be lifted in the future).
See ya
