For the likely rare situation where I'd want to do this rather than refactoring into a function, I might try with something like this without requiring changes to the language:

from contextlib import contextmanager

@contextmanager
def breakable():
    class Break(Exception): pass
    def breaker(): raise Break
    try:
        yield breaker
    except Break:
        pass

This allows defining a block that can be "aborted" (which can have a loop or any other statement block within); you abort it by calling the resulting value of the context manager. An example of use is available at https://gist.github.com/dmoisset/55f5916f9f339a143b6f3d155de8706e

Hi, sometimes I do nested loops and I want to break specific loop, outer/inner etc.
I need to do an ugly thing with for..else and it's annoying.

It'd be nice if we could do so:
for i in range(10) as loop_i:
    for j in range(i, i + 10) as loop_j:
        if i + j == 9:
            break loop_i
or something like this.
Please comment what do you think about this idea.
