[python] using try: finally: except

[David Stockwell]

In referring to my copy of the python bible, it tells me I can't use all 
three items 'try' except and finally.  I can use the t/f or t/e  
combinations though

What combination can i use if i want to catch the exception and still have a 
finally block?


This is a fictional example of  what I want....

try:
    x = 'hello'
except Exception, e:
    print "oops"
finally:
    y = 'world'
    print x," ", y

So I surmise one way to guarantee this does what I need would be to do this:

try:
    x = 'hello'
except Exception, e:
    print "oops"

y = 'world'
print x," ", y

Wouldn't that guarantee y and the print gets executed no matter what? My 
exception catches miscellaneous errors and then processing continues....  I 
suspect that wouldn't hold for a complex case where the action in the try 
block causes a fatal error of some sort....
