Skipping Iterations in Python

Question

I have a loop going, but there is the possibility for exceptions to be raised inside the loop. Which of course would stop it all together. I want to catch the exceptions and basically just skip to the next iteration in the loop. Is there a keyword or way to do this?

Answer 1

Something like this?

for i in xrange( someBigNumber ):
    try:
        doSomethingThatMightFail()
    except SomeException, e:
        pass

Answer 2

You are lookin for continue.

Answer 3

I think you're looking for continue

Answer 4

for i in iterator:
    try:
        # Do something.
        pass
    except:
        # Continue to next iteration.
        continue
