breaking out of nested loops - Skaperen - Jul-17-2022
deep in some nested loops and a condition test, i need to break out of all of those loops. is there an easy way to do this? i can't use goto. what about a faked try/except?

Using an exception will work, but is a kludge and can end up causing bigger problems down the road, esp with maintenance.
Another, again not great idea, is to use a flag that you test as you exit the deeper loops to see if you should break
I'd look at how you could restructure your code

Maybe put your loops in a function?
if condition:
return
should beam you out of the function!

i like the function idea. that would better organize my code, too.
