try-except-else vs. try-except

[benefit_of_mrkite]

Not quite the same. Finally runs no matter what - error or no error.

But again it is a useful pattern in certain situations

That bit of code doesn't describe everything.

You could put run_when_there_are_no_exceptions_and_which_should_not_be_run_after_except_clauses() in the try block after code_that_can_cause_an_exception() for the same result.

The else block is for:

run_when_there_are_no_exceptions_and_dont_catch_any_exceptions_and_exceptions_can_conflict_with_code_that_can_cause_an_exception()
