[Python-Dev] Feature Suggestion: "repeat" statement in loops

2023年1月26日 11:38:31 -0800

Hi all,
i would like to suggest the following Python feature. It naturally happens that one want's to repeat the current iteration of a for loop for example after an error happened. For this purpose, I usually set a flag and put a while loop inside my for loop. A simple "repeat" statement just like "continue" or "break" would make the code much more readable.
This is my solution at the moment with A being checked:
for _ in range(n):
  flag = True
  while flag:
    ...
    if A:
      flag = False # go to next iteration
I would suggest the repeat statement in the following sense
for _ in range(n):
  ...
  if not A:
    repeat # repeat current iteration
Notice the "not" in the if clause. I am really looking forwars to hear your opinions.
Best regards
Thomas
