Iterating through a list. Upon condition I want to move on to next item in list

[aaron.m.weisberg at gmail.com]

Good afternoon,

I have a list that I'm iterating thorough in Python.  Each item in the list will have between 1-200 urls associated with it.  My goal is to move on to the next.  I have a variable "associationsCount" that is counting the number of urls and once it gets to 0 i want to move on to the next item on the list and do the same thing.

As my code stands right now, it counts through the stateList[0] and then when associationsCount gets to 0 it just stops.  I know I need to add another couple lines of code to get it back going again- but I'm not no good at no Python.

Please advise.  


Here's an example of the code:

stateList = ['AL','AK','AR','AZ',etc]
associationsCount = 1

for state in stateList:
    
        while associationsCount > 0:
            print(counter)
            url = 'url?dp={0}&n=&s={1}&c=&z=&t1=&g='.format(counter,state)
            print(url)
            page = requests.get(url)
            
            tree = html.fromstring(page.text)
            s = s + counter
            counter +=1
                    
            associations = tree.xpath('//td//strong/text()')
            associationsCount = len(associations)
            print(associationsCount)

                      
                
            for x in associations:
                print(x)
                xUrl = 'https://bing.com/search?q={0}'.format(x)
                xPage = requests.get(xUrl)
                xTree = html.fromstring(xPage.text)
                try:
                    link = xTree.xpath('//li[@class="b_algo"]//a/@href')[0]
                    print(link)
                    associationInfo = state, x,link
                    associationInfoList.append(associationInfo)
                    
                except:
                    pass
