I find that my preferred way when the loops are nested is to move the loops
into a function and then return:

def do_something(collection, collection2):
    for x in  collection:
        for y in collection 2:
             if someCase(x,y):
                 return

It seems (at least to me) a little nicer than sentinel values or throwing an
exception.

Just my $.02
