Keep-trying-until-it-works

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 use exceptions and setjmp all over the code, because C++ doesn't allow continuations and I hate it. The more problematic C++ programs are, the sooner C++ will die. If you hate your language, write the worst code possible.
