[New-bugs-announce] [issue16028] break in finally discards exception

[Erik Allik]

New submission from Erik Allik:

This is either a bug, or a very weird but undocumented feature/caveat.


def fn1():
    while True:
        try:
            raise Exception()
        finally:
            pass
def fn2():
    while True:
        try:
            raise Exception()
        finally:
            break  # <-----
fn1()  # exception, as expected
fn2()  # silence!
