How to determine if an exception was raised once you're in the finally block?

Question

Is it possible to tell if there was an exception once you\'re in the finally clause? Something like:

try:
    funky code
finally:
    if ???:
          


        

Answer 1

If exception happened --> Put this logic in the exception block(s).
If exception did not happen --> Put this logic in the try block after the point in code where the exception can occur.

Finally blocks should be reserved for "cleanup actions," according to the Python language reference. When finally is specified the interpreter proceeds in the except case as follows: Exception is saved, then the finally block is executed first, then lastly the Exception is raised.
