1) try/except and try/finally are two separate constructs (as opposed to=20
Java's try/catch/finally) -- search the c.l.p. archives for a good=20
explanation on this and write about this in your article - there were som=
e=20
pretty good posts on this subject some time ago.

this might be in c.l.p. as well, although I never read about it

on the combination of exceptions and continuations. Maybe read the articl=
es=20
written about Stackless Python...
