>From the Python language reference, section 7.2:

 A break statement executed in the first suite
 terminates the loop without executing the else
 clause's suite.

And from 7.3:

 A break statement executed in the first suite
 terminates the loop without executing the else
 clause's suite. A continue statement executed in the
 first suite skips the rest of the suite and continues
 with the next item, or with the else clause if there
 was no next item.
