Naming Loops in Python

Question

I recently read this question which had a solution about labeling loops in Java.

I am wondering if such a loop-naming system exists in Python. I have been in a situa

Though there are reasons to include named looped in language construct you can easily avoid it in python without loss of readability. An implementation of the referred example in python

>>> try:
    for i in xrange(0,5):
        for j in xrange(0,6):
            if i*j > 6:
                print "Breaking"
                raise StopIteration
            print i," ",j
except StopIteration:
    print "Done"


0   0
0   1
0   2
0   3
0   4
0   5
1   0
1   1
1   2
1   3
1   4
1   5
2   0
2   1
2   2
2   3
Breaking
Done
>>> 

I solve this problem by putting the inner loop in a function that returns (among others) a boolean which is used as a breaking condition.

I think you should try this. This is very pythonic, simple and readable.
