# 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

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。

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

如果两个条件为真，则继续循环。

我认为这是一种更python化的方式:

dejaVu = True

while dejaVu:
    while True:
        ok = raw_input("Is this ok? (y/n)")
        if ok == "y" or ok == "Y" or ok == "n" or ok == "N":
            dejaVu = False
            break

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)

PEP 3136建议标记中断/继续。Guido拒绝了它，因为“需要这个功能的复杂代码非常罕见”。不过，PEP确实提到了一些变通方法(比如异常技术)，而Guido认为在大多数情况下，使用return进行重构会更简单。
