statement: break

statement: continue

The optional :keyword:`else` clause is executed if and when control flows off

the end of the :keyword:`try` clause. [#]_ Exceptions in the :keyword:`else`

clause are not handled by the preceding :keyword:`except` clauses.

The optional :keyword:`else` clause is executed if the control flow leaves the

:keyword:`try` suite, no exception was raised, and no :keyword:`return`,

:keyword:`continue`, or :keyword:`break` statement was executed. Exceptions in

the :keyword:`else` clause are not handled by the preceding :keyword:`except`

clauses.

.. index:: keyword: finally

there is a :keyword:`finally` clause which happens to raise another

exception. That new exception causes the old one to be lost.

.. [#] Currently, control "flows off the end" except in the case of an exception

or the execution of a :keyword:`return`, :keyword:`continue`, or

:keyword:`break` statement.

.. [#] A string literal appearing as the first statement in the function body is

transformed into the function's ``__doc__`` attribute and therefore the

function's :term:`docstring`.
