Within a 'try' block, if an exception is called and a matching
'except' block is found, that block will be used to handle the
expression.

>From the documentation of the "return" keyword: "When return passes
control out of a try statement with a finally clause, that finally
clause is executed before really leaving the function." Note that
there is no talk about exceptions in this.
