I'm using:
Python 2.3.2 (#1, Oct 17 2003, 19:06:15) [C] on sunos5
And I'm trying to execute:
#! /usr/bin/env python
try:
f = file('test.txt' , 'r')
except IOError:
print 'except'
else:
print 'else'
finally:
print 'finally'
And the results are:
File "./test.py", line 9
finally:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help. 5 7346

You need Python 2.5 for that to work. In older Python versions you have to
nest try...except... else and try...finally.

A finally block isn't allowed to appear together with an except block for
releases previous to 2.5. You need to split your exception handling into
two separate blocks.

You need Python 2.5 for that to work. In older Python versions you have to
nest try...except... else and try...finally.
Thanks Peter.
Given the code above, can you show me what that would look like? The
nested version, that is.

You're using syntax that is valid under Python 2.5, but invalid in
earlier Python versions.

This may have been discussed before, but I'm kind of confused as to why Python
doesn't support having both an except ~and~ a finally clause, like this:
try:
raise RuntimeException
except:
print "What is the answer?"
finally:
print 42

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
