Okay,
I'm not sure if this is good practice, but I could assign a variable within the
while loop, that is assigned something that will then break the outer loop.
while True:
breakout = True
<do something>
for i in items:
if i > 10:
breakout = False
else:
<do something>
if break is False:
break
Is the above do-able? Is there a better way?
