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

You can always bypass the for loop and just use the iterator explicitly:

iter = list.__iter__()
while True:
    x = iter.next()
    ...
    if (condition):
        x = iter.next()
    ...

This will throw a StopIteration exception when it reaches the end of the list.
