Iterate again within the for loop

Question

is there a way to iterate again within the for loop? For example:

for x in list:
  if(condition):
      #I\'d like to grab the next iteration of the lis         


        

Answer 1

If the item you're using over is an iterable object you can use item.next() to grab the next element. But you'll need to make sure to grab the StopIteration exception if needed.

>>> it = iter(range(5))
>>> for x in it:
...     print x
...     if x > 3:
...         print it.next()
... 
0 1 2 3 4
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 4, in 
StopIteration
