我个人会做的是使用一个boolean，当我准备跳出外部循环时切换。例如

while True:
    #snip: print out current state
    quit = False
    while True:
        ok = input("Is this ok? (y/n)")
        if ok.lower() == "y":
            quit = True
            break # this should work now :-)
        if ok.lower() == "n":
            quit = True
            break # This should work too :-)
    if quit:
        break
    #do more processing with menus and stuff

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。

尝试使用无限发电机。

from itertools import repeat
inputs = (get_input("Is this ok? (y/n)") for _ in repeat(None))
response = (i.lower()=="y" for i in inputs if i.lower() in ("y", "n"))

while True:
    #snip: print out current state
    if next(response):
        break
    #do more processing with menus and stuff

我倾向于认为重构到函数中通常是这种情况的最佳方法，但是当您确实需要打破嵌套循环时，这里有一个有趣的异常引发方法的变体@S。洛特。它使用Python的with语句使异常引发看起来更好一些。定义一个新的上下文管理器(你只需要这样做一次):

from contextlib import contextmanager
@contextmanager
def nested_break():
    class NestedBreakException(Exception):
        pass
    try:
        yield NestedBreakException
    except NestedBreakException:
        pass

现在你可以像下面这样使用这个上下文管理器:

with nested_break() as mylabel:
    while True:
        print "current state"
        while True:
            ok = raw_input("Is this ok? (y/n)")
            if ok == "y" or ok == "Y": raise mylabel
            if ok == "n" or ok == "N": break
        print "more processing"

优点:(1)它稍微干净一些(没有显式的try-except块)，并且(2)每次使用nested_break你都会得到一个定制的Exception子类;不需要每次都声明自己的Exception子类。

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

# this version breaks up to a certain label

break_label = None
while True:
    # snip: print out current state
    while True:
        ok = get_input("Is this ok? (y/n)")
        if ok == "y" or ok == "Y":
            break_label = "outer"   # specify label to break to
            break
        if ok == "n" or ok == "N":
            break
    if break_label:
        if break_label != "inner":
            break                   # propagate up
        break_label = None          # we have arrived!
if break_label:
    if break_label != "outer":
        break                       # propagate up
    break_label = None              # we have arrived!

#do more processing with menus and stuff
