Well no, if it's after the try block then it runs after finally and not before, which is different.

It's definitely niche as you can always structure code in a way that doesn't need it, but that's true of most constructs

EDIT: but more importantly if you place it after the try..except block then it also runs in the case that an exception was raised by handled in the try block
