[New-bugs-announce] [issue25832] Document weird behavior of `finally` when it has `break` in it

[Ram Rachum]

New submission from Ram Rachum:

Today I spent 30 minutes because of weird behavior of `finally` when it has a `break` statement inside of it. (The behavior is that the exception gets suppressed, which I found unexpected.) I think this behavior should be documented.

Example:

    
    
    c:\Users\Administrator\Desktop>cat s.py                    
    for x in [1, 2, 3]:                                        
      try:                                                     
        1/0                                                    
      finally:                                                 
        break                                                  
    print(x)                                                   
                                                              
    c:\Users\Administrator\Desktop>c:\Python34\python.exe s.py
