for a in b:
def doWork():
for c in d:
for e in f:
if somecondition:
return # <continue the for a in b loop?>
doWork()
A better option would be to move doWork somewhere else and pass its state as arguments.
Use an exception
class StopLookingForThings(Exception): pass
for a in b:
try:
for c in d:
for e in f:
if somecondition:
raise StopLookingForThings()
except StopLookingForThings:
pass
lista = ["hello1", "hello2" , "world"]
for index,word in enumerate(lista):
found = False
for i in range(1,3):
if word == "hello"+str(i):
found = True
break
print(index)
if found == True:
continue
if word == "world":
continue
print(index)
Now what's printed :
>> 1
>> 2
>> 2
This means that the word no.1 ( index = 0 ) appeard first (there's no way for something to be printed before the continue statement). The word no.2 ( index = 1 ) appeared second ( the word "hello1" managed to be printed but not the rest ) and the word no.3 appeard third what mean's that the words "hello1" and "hello2" managed to be printed before the for loop reached this said third word.
To sum up it's just using the found = False / True boolean and the break statement.
#infinite wait till all items obtained
while True:
time.sleep(0.5)
for item in entries:
if self.results.get(item,None) is None:
print(f"waiting for {item} to be obtained")
break #continue outer loop
else:
break
#continue
