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?

I do? How? My software is pretty fast and lean. I even warned the person what are the pitfalls when using exception handling, especially native one.

I don't even know what you're talking about.

Huh? You have to try harder 0/10. Why would I be upset about what other people choose to do with their own code, especially if I'm not the one working on it? back to /b/.
