Where is my exception

[Laszlo Zsolt Nagy]

I have this code in a wxWidgets program:

class HtmlHintWindow(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self,pos,hint,config):
        global _current_hint_window
        # Determine the size of the screen
        self.screensize = wx.ClientDisplayRect()[2:]
        # Calculate the size of the hint ;-)
        self.renderer = MegaXMLRenderer()
        self.renderer.LoadStyle(config.style)
        self.cookie, self.parsed_xml = self.renderer.Parse(hint)
        print "point 1"
        try:
            self.image = self.renderer.Render(
                self.cookie,
                self.parsed_xml,
                (0,0,self.screensize[0],self.screensize[1]),
                draw=True
            )
        finally:
            print "point 2"
            raise

The program prints out "point 1" but it does not print "point 2". What 
am I missing?
