Skipping Iterations in Python

Question

I have a loop going  but there is the possibility for exceptions to be raised inside the loop  This of course would stop my program all together  To prevent that I catch the exceptions and handle them  But then the rest of the iteration runs even though an exception occurred  Is there a keyword to use in my except  clause to just skip the rest of the current iteration

For this specific use-case using try  except  else is the cleanest solution  the else clause will be executed if no exception was raised    NOTE  The else clause must follow all except clauses  for i in iterator      try            Do something      except            Handle exception     else            Continue doing something

Example for Continue   number   0  for number in range 10      number   number   1     if number    5        continue      continue here     print  Number is     str number    print  Out of loop     Output   Number is 1 Number is 2 Number is 3 Number is 4 Number is 6   Note  5 is skipped   Number is 7 Number is 8 Number is 9 Number is 10 Out of loop
