[Python-projects] return or break inside a finally

[Michael Foord]

Hello all,

If you include a return or break statement inside the finally clause of 
a try... finally block then exceptions raised in the try clause are 
silently swallowed instead of being re-raised.

This seems like a bad thing (tm) and it would be useful if pylint could 
warn about this. Is there already a pylint checker for this?

All the best,

Michael
