repeat an iteration of for loop

Question

if for some reason i want to repeat the same iteration how i can do it in python?

for eachId in listOfIds:     #assume here that eachId conatins 10     response = makeRequest(eachId) #assume that makeRequest function request to a url by using this id     if response == 'market is closed':        time.sleep(24*60*60) #sleep for one day 

now when the function wake up from sleep after one day (market (currency trade market) is open) i want to resume my for loop from eachId = 10 not from eachId = 11, because eachId = 10 is not yet been processed as market was closed, any help is highly appreciated thanks.

Answer 1

Do it like this:

for eachId in listOfIds:     successful = False     while not successful:                 response = makeRequest(eachId)         if response == 'market is closed':             time.sleep(24*60*60) #sleep for one day         else:             successful = True 

The title of your question is the clue. Repeating is achieved by iteration, and in this case you can do it simply with a nested while.
