print("A")
try:
    result = "test" + 5
    print("B")
except ValueError:
    print("C")
except TypeError:
    print("D")
else:
    print("E")
print("F")

The else is not printed in this example. "test" + 5 results in a type error for attempting to add a string to an integer. This is handled by except TypeError so D is printed and else is skipped.
