这是另一种简短的方法。缺点是你只能打破外部循环，但有时这正是你想要的。

for a in xrange(10):
    for b in xrange(20):
        if something(a, b):
            # Break the inner loop...
            break
    else:
        # Continue if the inner loop wasn't broken.
        continue
    # Inner loop was broken, break the outer.
    break

这使用了for / else结构:为什么python在for和while循环之后使用'else' ?

关键洞见:似乎只有外部循环总是会破裂。但如果内环不破裂，外环也不会破裂。

这里的continue语句很神奇。它在for-else从句中。根据定义，如果没有内部断裂，就会发生这种情况。在这种情况下，继续巧妙地绕过外部中断。

和上一台很像，但更紧凑。 (布尔值只是数字)

breaker = False #our mighty loop exiter!
while True:
    while True:
        ok = get_input("Is this ok? (y/n)")
        breaker+= (ok.lower() == "y")
        break

    if breaker: # the interesting part!
        break   # <--- !

你可以使用一个标志来打破循环:

if found:
  break

这里，'found'是标志，你最初将它设置为False，然后在循环中使用这段代码。

found = False
for table_height in range(500):
  if found:
    break

下面是三个for循环的完整代码:

found = False
for table_height in range(500):
  if found:
    break
  for cat_height in range(500):
    if found:
      break

    for tort_height in range(500):
      equation1 = table_height + cat_height == tort_height + 170
      equation2 = table_height + tort_height == cat_height + 130
      if equation1 and equation2:
        print('table', table_height, '  cat', cat_height, '  tortoise', tort_height)
        found = True
        break

在这段代码中，如果等式1和等式2为True，它将设置'found'标志为True，并跳出最里面的for循环，它也将跳出其他两个for循环，因为'found'为True。

可能像下面这样的小技巧会做，如果不喜欢重构成函数

增加了1个break_level变量来控制while循环条件

break_level = 0
# while break_level < 3: # if we have another level of nested loop here
while break_level < 2:
    #snip: print out current state
    while break_level < 1:
        ok = get_input("Is this ok? (y/n)")
        if ok == "y" or ok == "Y": break_level = 2 # break 2 level
        if ok == "n" or ok == "N": break_level = 1 # break 1 level

首先，普通的逻辑是有用的。

如果由于某种原因，终止条件无法确定，例外是一个后备计划。

class GetOutOfLoop( Exception ):
    pass

try:
    done= False
    while not done:
        isok= False
        while not (done or isok):
            ok = get_input("Is this ok? (y/n)")
            if ok in ("y", "Y") or ok in ("n", "N") : 
                done= True # probably better
                raise GetOutOfLoop
        # other stuff
except GetOutOfLoop:
    pass

对于这个特定的示例，可能不需要异常。

另一方面，在字符模式应用程序中，我们经常有“Y”、“N”和“Q”选项。对于"Q"选项，我们要立即退出。这是比较特殊的。

以下是一个非常简短的版本: 创建名为break_out_nested.py的文件

import itertools
import sys

it = sys.modules[__name__] # this allows us to share variables with break_out_nested.py when we import it 


def bol(*args):
    condi = args[-1] # the condition function
    i = args[:-1] # all iterables 
    for p in itertools.product(*i): # itertools.product creates the nested loop
        if condi(): # if the condition is True, we return 
            return
        yield p # if not, we yield the result 

现在你只需要几行就可以打破嵌套的循环(数据来自Rafiq的例子)

from break_out_nested import it, bol # import what we have just created

# you need to create new variables as attributes of it,
# because break_out_nested has only access to these variables
it.i, it.j, it.k = 1, 1, 1
# the break condition
def cond(): return it.i % 3 == 0 and it.j % 3 == 0 and it.k % 3 == 0

# The condition will be checked in each loop 
for it.i, it.j, it.k in bol(range(1, 6, 1), range(1, 11, 2, ), range(1, 21, 4), cond):
    print(it.i, it.j, it.k)

更多的例子:

def cond(): return it.i + it.j + it.k == 777

it.i, it.j, it.k = 0, 0, 0
for it.i, it.j, it.k in bol(range(100), range(1000), range(10000), cond):
    print(it.i, it.j, it.k)




def cond(): return it.i + it.j + it.k >= 100000

it.i, it.j, it.k = 0, 0, 0
# you dont have to use it.i, it.j, it.k as the loop variables, you can
# use anything you want, but you have to update the variables somewhere
for i, j, k in bol(range(100), range(1000), range(10000), cond):
    it.i, it.j, it.k = i * 10, j * 100, k * 100
    print(it.i, it.j, it.k)
