下面是一段代码来澄清两者的区别:

...

try: 
  a/b
  print('In try block')
  
except TypeError:
  print('In except block')
  
finally: 
  print('In finally block')

print('Outside')

A b = 0,1

输出:

In try block 
In finally block 
Outside

(没有错误，除了跳过块。)

A b = 1,0

输出:

In finally block

Traceback (most recent call last):
a/b
ZeroDivisionError: division by zero

(没有为ZeroDivisionError指定异常处理，只执行finally块。)

A, b = 0， '1'

输出:

In except block 
In finally block 
Outside

(异常被正确处理，程序没有中断。)

注意:如果你有一个except块来处理所有类型的错误，finally块将是多余的。

完美的例子如下:

try:
    #x = Hello + 20
    x = 10 + 20 
except:
    print 'I am in except block'
    x = 20 + 30
else:
    print 'I am in else block'
    x += 1
finally:
    print 'Finally x = %s' %(x)

最后是“清理行动”的定义。finally子句在离开try语句之前的任何事件中执行，无论是否发生异常(即使您没有处理它)。

我赞同拜尔斯的例子。

为了让Abhijit Sahu对这个答案的评论更好看，并突出显示语法:

像这样，你可以观察到在以下情况下哪个代码块发生了什么:

try: 
    x = Hello + 20 
    x = 10 + 20 
except: 
    print 'I am in except block' 
    x = 20 + 30 
else: 
    print 'I am in else block' 
    x += 1 
finally: 
    print 'Finally x = %s' %(x) 

为了补充上面的其他答案，无论发生什么，finally子句都会执行，而else子句只在没有引发异常时执行。

例如，写入一个没有异常的文件将输出以下内容:

file = open('test.txt', 'w')

try:
    file.write("Testing.")
    print("Writing to file.")
except IOError:
    print("Could not write to file.")
else:
    print("Write successful.")
finally:
    file.close()
    print("File closed.")

输出:

Writing to file.
Write successful.
File closed.

如果存在异常，代码将输出以下内容(注意，故意使文件保持只读会导致错误。

file = open('test.txt', 'r')

try:
    file.write("Testing.")
    print("Writing to file.")
except IOError:
    print("Could not write to file.")
else:
    print("Write successful.")
finally:
    file.close()
    print("File closed.")

输出:

Could not write to file.
File closed.

我们可以看到，无论异常如何，finally子句都会执行。希望这能有所帮助。

如果你早点回来，情况就不一样了:

try:
    run_code1()
except TypeError:
    run_code2()
    return None   # The finally block is run before the method returns
finally:
    other_code()

与此相比:

try:
    run_code1()
except TypeError:
    run_code2()
    return None   

other_code()  # This doesn't get run if there's an exception.

其他可能导致差异的情况:

如果在except块内抛出异常。 如果在run_code1()中抛出异常，但它不是TypeError。 其他控制流语句，如continue和break语句。
