Subject: bug#3991: 23.1; autoindent problem with new exception formatting in lisp/progmodes/python.el
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2009 16:52:32 +0930

Python2.5 introduced the available use of "finally" with
"except" in the same "try" exception handling block.  The
standard GNU Emacs Python mode (python.el) won't perform an
autoindent correctly when the code reaches the "finally"
clause - e.g.:

def myfunc():
    try:
        foo()
    except Bar, e:
        pass
    else:
        foo()
finally:


this patch fixes the problem for me:
