In 2019, the Python community had a

lengthy discussion about changing the rules (that some find counterintuitive) on
using break, continue, or return statements in
finally blocks. These are all ways of jumping out of a finally
block, which can interrupt the handling of a raised exception.
At the time, the Python developers chose not to change
things, because the consensus was that the existing behavior was not a problem. Now, after
a
report put together by Irit Katriel, the project is once again considering
changing the language.
