Hi all,

i would like to suggest the following Python feature. It naturally happens that one want's to repeat the current iteration of a for loop for example after an error happened. For this purpose, I usually set a flag and put a while loop inside my for loop. A simple "repeat" statement just like "continue" or "break" would make the code much more readable.

This is my solution at the moment with A being checked:

for _ in range(n): flag = True while flag: ... if A: flag = False # go to next iteration

Why not use break? ChrisA
