How to retry after exception?

exception, loops, python, try-except

Solution

Do a `while True` inside your for loop, put your `try` code inside, and break from that `while` loop only when your code succeeds.

for i in range(0,100):
    while True:
        try:
            # do stuff
        except SomeSpecificException:
            continue
        break

Problem

I have a loop starting with `for i in range(0, 100)`. Normally it runs correctly, but sometimes it fails due to network conditions. Currently I have it set so that on failure, it will `continue` in the except clause (continue on to the next number for `i`). Is it possible for me to reassign the same number to `i` and run through the failed iteration of the loop again?
