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

Of course, in your example it doesn't matter because the 'except' clause
doesn't stop execution from passing to the next line, but if you were doing
something more fatal in the 'except' clause then (I think) you would still
execute the 'finally' block.
