return in finally swallows exceptions #69

In

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

This means that if an unhandled exception (including a BaseException such as KeyboardInterrupt) is raised from the try body, or any exception is raised from an except: clause, it will not propagate on as expected.

If the intention is to suppress all exceptions, I would propose to make this clear by using "except BaseException:".
