return in finally can swallow exceptions #1245

Description

@iritkatriel

In

there is a return statement in a finally block, which would swallow any in-flight exception.

This means that if a BaseException (such as KeyboardInterrupt) is raised from the body, or any exception is raised from one of the except: clauses, it will not propagate on as expected.
