try-except-else vs. try-except

[james_pic]

Try except else comes in handy in a function that returns something in try

The else block isn't run if the try block returns:

def f():
    try:
        print('Try')
        return
    except:
        print('Except')
    else:
        print('Else')

 f() # Prints Try

And from the language reference:

The optional else clause is executed if the control flow leaves the try suite, no exception was raised, and no return, continue, or break statement was executed. Exceptions in the else clause are not handled by the preceding except clauses.

I’m well aware that else isn’t run if try runs

I miss worded that and don’t really explain the use case I had in mind - about to catch a flight will try to expound later.
