如何突破for代码并尝试循环执行我的代码？

Question

I have a try loop that executes a post function which takes some time to work:

def recalc_proj(proj):
    for x in range(0,10):
        while True:
            try:
                newproj = proj.post('docs/recalc')
            except someError:
                print "another job is running. waiting 10s"
                time.sleep(10)
                continue
            break
        print "SUCCESS"

i only want to run newproj = proj.post('docs/recalc') once and if it runs without error, quit.

However, after running the function above, i get this output on the screen:

another job is running. waiting 10s
another job is running. waiting 10s
another job is running. waiting 10s
another job is running. waiting 10s
SUCCESS
another job is running. waiting 10s
another job is running. waiting 10s
another job is running. waiting 10s

Why does it continue looping even after the line of code i need successfully runs? i thought the break means to get out of the for loop?

Answer 1

The break statement terminates the current loop, which is the while loop in your example. You can put another break after your print statement to terminate the for loop as well:

 ...
 print "SUCCESS"
 break
