Mailman 3 Giving Loops names - Python-ideas

Dec. 30, 2019

      Hello,
I was thinking about giving loops names. And It would be interesting if through this name in a continue or break statement could be called.
A little example what I mean:

loop "outloop" while True:
    actmonth = datetime.datetime.now().month
    loop "innerloop" for i in range(0, int(input())):
        if datetime.datetime.now().month != actmonth:
            break "outloop"
        else:
            print("Waiting for a new Month...")

    # Do some stuff if loop ended before new Month

Without giving names it's always needed to define a new variable and a if statement outside of the innerloop, like this:

while True:
    actmonth = datetime.datetime.now().month
    shouldend = False
    for i in range(0, int(input())):
        if datetime.datetime.now().month != actmonth:
            shouldend = True
            break
        else:
            print("Waiting for a new Month...")

    if shouldend:
        break

    # Do some stuff if loop ended before new Month

It's possible without it, but it is more readable.
Maybe another option is, but that's too deep, to make loops to objects.
