Hello! Why doesn't the second code snipet, work like the first?
>>> for i in range(5): ... if i == 3 : continue ... print i, ... 0 1 2 4 >>> exp = "if i == 3 : continue" >>> for i in range(5): ... exec( exp ) ... print i, ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "<input>", line 2, in <module> File "<string>", line 1 SyntaxError: 'continue' not properly in loop (<string>, line 1) I have other examples os exp = "if <some condition> : do this" that work as expected when called by exec(exp) So i think the problem is not about "continue" but about "exec". >>> exp2 = 'if i == 2 : print 2**2' >>> for i in range(5): ... exec( exp2 ) ... print i, ... 0 1 4 2 3 4 _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
