Hello,
Any suggestions on a good python equivalent for the following C code:
while (loopCondition)
{
if (condition1)
goto next;
if (condition2)
goto next;
if (condition3)
goto next;
stmt1;
stmt2;
next:
stmt3;
stmt4;
}
Thanks

I would not be too happy if I saw C code like that in my repository.
This is equivalent:
while (loopCondition) {
if (!(condition1 || condition2 || condition3)) {
stmt1;
stmt2;
}
stmt3;
stmt4;
}
In Python:
while (loopCondition):
if not (condition1 or condition2 or condition3):
stmt1
stmt2
stmt3
stmt4
If stmt3 and stmt4 are error cleanup code, I would use try/finally.
while loopCondition:
try:
if condition1:
raise Error1()
if condition2:
raise Error2()
if condition3:
raise Error3()
stmt1
stmt2
finally:
stmt3
stmt4
This will also bail out of the loop on and exception and the exception
will get to the next level. If you don't want that to happen, put an
appropriate except block before the finally.

Close, but there is no reason for the conditions to raise anything,
they can just use the continue statement:
i = 20
while i > 0:
try:
if i % 2:
continue
if i % 3:
continue
print i, "is even and a multiple of 3"
finally:
i -= 1
Prints:
18 is even and a multiple of 3
12 is even and a multiple of 3
6 is even and a multiple of 3
I think this is closest to the OP's stated requirements.

I'm aware my example where I raised exceptions was functionally
different ("This will bail out of the loop on an exception and the
exception will get to the next level.") Just thinking in terms of
telling the caller something went wrong. The other examples were
functionally equivalent, however.
Still, this is the best way so far. :) I never thought of using continue
with finally. It gets added to my Python tricks file for future use.
