Not sure what you're getting, then, but this works under Python 2.2 in IDLE:

>>> x=0
>>> while x < 10:
    x += 1
    try:
        print 'continue'
        continue
        print 'break'
        break
    except:
        print 'except'
        break

continue
continue
continue
continue
continue
continue
continue
continue
continue
continue
>>>
