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
