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。

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)

Break for外层和内部while循环:

while True:
    while True:
        print('Breaks inner "while" loop')
        break # Here
    print('Breaks outer "while" loop')
    break # Here

或者，用if语句中断外部和内部while循环:

while True:
    while True:
        if True:
            print('Breaks inner "while" loop')
            break # Here
    print('Breaks outer "while" loop')
    break # Here

输出:

Breaks inner "while" loop
Breaks outer "while" loop

Break for outer和inner for循环:

for _ in iter(int, 1):
    for _ in iter(int, 1):
        print('Breaks inner "for" loop')
        break # Here
    print('Breaks outer "for" loop')
    break # Here

或者，用if语句打破外部和内部for循环:

for _ in iter(int, 1):
    for _ in iter(int, 1):
        if True:
            print('Breaks inner "for" loop')
            break # Here
    print('Breaks outer "for" loop')
    break # Here

输出:

Breaks inner "for" loop
Breaks outer "for" loop

通过使用函数:

def myloop():
    for i in range(1,6,1):  # 1st loop
        print('i:',i)
        for j in range(1,11,2):  # 2nd loop
            print('   i, j:' ,i, j)
            for k in range(1,21,4):  # 3rd loop
                print('      i,j,k:', i,j,k)
                if i%3==0 and j%3==0 and k%3==0:
                    return  # getting out of all loops

myloop()

尝试通过注释掉返回值来运行上面的代码。

不使用任何函数:

done = False
for i in range(1,6,1):  # 1st loop
    print('i:', i)
    for j in range(1,11,2):  # 2nd loop
        print('   i, j:' ,i, j)
        for k in range(1,21,4):  # 3rd loop
            print('      i,j,k:', i,j,k)
            if i%3==0 and j%3==0 and k%3==0:
                done = True
                break  # breaking from 3rd loop
        if done: break # breaking from 2nd loop
    if done: break     # breaking from 1st loop

现在，首先按原样运行上面的代码，然后尝试从底部注释掉包含break的每一行。

while True:
    # Snip: print out current state
    while True:
        ok = get_input("Is this ok? (y/n)")
        if ok.lower() == "y": 
            break_2 = True
        if ok.lower() == "n": 
            break
    if break_2:
        break

我想提醒你，Python中的函数可以在代码中间创建，并且可以透明地访问周围的变量以进行读取，也可以通过非局部或全局声明进行写入。

所以你可以使用一个函数作为“易碎的控制结构”，定义一个你想要返回的地方:

def is_prime(number):

    foo = bar = number

    def return_here():
        nonlocal foo, bar
        init_bar = bar
        while foo > 0:
            bar = init_bar
            while bar >= foo:
                if foo*bar == number:
                    return
                bar -= 1
            foo -= 1

    return_here()

    if foo == 1:
        print(number, 'is prime')
    else:
        print(number, '=', bar, '*', foo)

>>> is_prime(67)
67 is prime
>>> is_prime(117)
117 = 13 * 9
>>> is_prime(16)
16 = 4 * 4
