weird try/finally behaviour

[Sylvain Thénault]

Hi there,

I've encountered the following behaviour which I found surprising:

>>> def test():
...     for x in ('test', 'tests'):
...          try:
...             if True:
...                   print 'return'
...                   return 1
...          finally:
...             print 'break'
...             break
...     print 'end'
... 
>>> 
>>> test()
return
break
end

As you can see, the 'break' in the finally block makes the 'return 1' beeing ignored.
Is this a known caveat or should it be considered as a bug?
