>From the Python language reference, section 7.2:
A break statement executed in the first suite
terminates the loop without executing the else
clause's suite.
And from 7.3:
A break statement executed in the first suite
terminates the loop without executing the else
clause's suite. A continue statement executed in the
first suite skips the rest of the suite and continues
with the next item, or with the else clause if there
was no next item.
