Python: is there a C-like for loop available?

Question

Can I do something like this in Python?

for (i = 0; i < 10; i++):
  if someCondition:
     i+=1
  print i

I need to be able to skip some values based on a condition

EDIT: All the solutions so far suggest pruning the initial range in one way or another, based on an already known condition. This is not useful for me, so let me explain what I want to do.

I want to manually (i.e. no getopt) parse some cmd line args, where each 'keyword' has a certain number of parameters, something like this:

for i in range(0,len(argv)):
    arg = argv[i]
    if arg == '--flag1':
       opt1 = argv[i+1]
       i+=1
       continue
    if arg == '--anotherFlag':
       optX = argv[i+1]
       optY = argv[i+2]
       optZ = argv[i+3]
       i+=3
       continue

    ...

Answer 1

Yes, this is how I would do it

>>> for i in xrange(0, 10):
...     if i == 4:
...         continue
...     print i,
...
0 1 2 3 5 6 7 8 9

EDIT
Based on the update to your original question... I would suggest you take a look at optparse

Answer 2

for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
   if someCondition:
      i+=1
print i

In python would be written as

i = 0
while i < 10
   if someCondition
      i += 1
   print i
   i += 1

there you go, that is how to write a c for loop in python.
