Keep-trying-until-it-works

Name: Anonymous 2011-04-23 0:42

Due to lack of gotos, this is the shortest way I can come up with to tell python to keep doing something until it actually works (in my case, loading a webpage) is this:

tempvar = 1
while tempvar == 1:
    try:
        <stuff that will either work or cause an exception>
        tempvar = 0
    except:
        pass


in c++ i could just

lbl: try{stuff} catch {goto lbl;}

better way?

Exceptions? Like "out of place calls?"
out of normal run-time?
Dood, optimise your thinking. Go take some LSD. or some E. Seriously. It helped me expand my programming boundaries. I'm not BSing you.
AND also you could simply use FUNCTIONS? Maybe? Will that help? Or use Classes if applicable? I think both of those are avail in C++ (topic)?
