Description:
In 2019, the Python community had a lengthy discussion about changing the rules (that some find counterintuitive) on
using break , continue , or return statements in finally blocks. These are
all ways of jumping out of a finally block, which can interrupt the handling of a raised exception.
At the time, the Python developers chose not to change
things, because the consensus was that the existing behavior was not a problem. Now, after a
report put together by Irit Katriel, the project is once again considering changing the language.
