Or you could turn it into a function and "return". Or if you feel like it, you could turn the nested loops into a generator, then iterate over it and break when you need to. There are many things you CAN do, but to the true goto-aficionado, none of them is as clean. Personally, I can't remember the last time I yearned for "goto" in Python, and the only times I've ever wished for it or used it in other languages have been multi-loop breaks or "for...else" blocks. And neither is very frequent. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
