return in finally can swallow exceptions #1245
Open
Description
In
return
statement in a finally
block, which would swallow any in-flight exception.
This means that if a BaseException
(such as KeyboardInterrupt
) is raised from the body, or any exception is raised from one of the except:
clauses, it will not propagate on as expected.
