Why do we need the “finally” clause in Python?

Question

I am not sure why we need finally in try...except...finally statements. In my opinion, this code block

try:
    run_code1()
except

Run these Python3 codes to watch the need of finally:

CASE1:

count = 0
while True:
    count += 1
    if count > 3:
        break
    else:
        try:
            x = int(input("Enter your lock number here: "))

            if x == 586:
                print("Your lock has unlocked :)")

                break
            else:
                print("Try again!!")

                continue

        except:
            print("Invalid entry!!")
        finally:
            print("Your Attempts: {}".format(count))

CASE2:

count = 0

while True:
    count += 1
    if count > 3:
        break
    else:
        try:
            x = int(input("Enter your lock number here: "))

            if x == 586:
                print("Your lock has unlocked :)")

                break
            else:
                print("Try again!!")

                continue

        except:
            print("Invalid entry!!")

        print("Your Attempts: {}".format(count))

Try the following inputs each time:

1. random integers
2. correct code which is 586(Try this and you will get your answer)
3. random strings
