How to get out of a try/except inside a while? [Python]

Question

I\'m trying this simple code, but the damn break doesn\'t work... what is wrong?

while True:
    for proxy in proxylist:
        try:
            h = urllib.urlo

You just break out of for loop -- not while loop:

running = True
while running:
    for proxy in proxylist:
        try:
            h = urllib.urlopen(website, proxies = {'http': proxy}).readlines()
            print 'worked %s' % proxy
            running = False
        except:
            print 'error %s' % proxy
print 'done'
