Just the immediately enclosing loop.
You can fake higher level breaks by setting
a global variable and immediately after the
exit from the inner loop check the value and
if necessary break again.
brk_level = 0 # 1= all levels, 0 = just one
while 1:
while 1:
if test():
brk_level = 1
break
if brk_level > 0: break
doMore()
But its nearly always possibly to just restructure the
code to avoid the need for such tricks.
