Discussion on: How to break outer ones of nested loops in Python?

[xtofl]

Most of the time when I encounter a nested loop, it can be removed completely by clarifying the intent of the author: "finding" a value that satisfies a predicate in the carthesian product of some ranges.

found = next(
  j for _, j in itertools.product(range(10), range(10))
  if j == 4
)

This way, breaking out of the loop does not break the code reader's attention. (It may be broken by having to look up what itertools.product is :))
