Hi Tpc,

I think there's some confusion about the role of 'continue'; it's doesn't
have anything to do with exception handling.

The following example might help:

######
>>> def showDivision(n):
...     try:
...         for i in range(10):
...             print i, i / n
...     except ZeroDivisionError:
...         print "Huh?!"
...     print "All done!"
...
>>> showDivision(5)
0 0
1 0
2 0
3 0
4 0
5 1
6 1
7 1
8 1
9 1
All done!
>>> showDivision(0)
0 Huh?!
All done!
>>>
######


Does this help to clear thing up?
