The code in 'else' in a 'try/except/else[/finally]' block seems pointless to me, as I am not seeing any difference between having the code in the 'else' suite vs having the code in the 'try' suite.Can anybody shed some light on this for me?
The difference is that if an exception occurs in the else block it won't be caught by the exception handlers of the try statement. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
