Hmm, that must have changed between Python 1.5 and more recent
versions:

Python 1.5:
>>> def f():
...     try:
...             return 1
...     finally:
...             print 'finally'
... 
>>> f()
1
>>> 

Python 2.0:
>>> def f():
...     try:
...             return 1
...     finally:
...             print 'finally'
... 
>>> f()
finally
1
>>>
