You cannot blame me for considering the example you provided ;)

What about this:

class Cleanup(Exception): pass

try:
  for x in it:
    if c1():
      raise Cleanup()
    c2()
    if c3():
      raise Cleanup()
except Cleanup:
  #do the cleanup
   pass

If you can make c1 c3 raise themselves Cleanup, it's even better.

Now if you're able to write a cleanup function that can handle the case when 
there's nothing to clean, everything becomes crystal clear:

from contextlib import contextmanager

@contextmanager
def cleanup():
  yield
  # here do the cleaning
  print 'I am cleaning'

def do_the_job():
  if c1() : return
  c2()
  if c3() : return

with cleanup():
  do_the_job()
