There seems to be some serious problem with continue in Python: for eg:

for i  in range(1,10):if i % 2 == 0:continueprint i

works as intended, but

i = 0while(i < 10):if i %2 == 0:   continuei += 1print i

the while loop never terminates!

Your i is never incremented in the second snippet. Remove the continue.

i = 0
while(i < 10):if i %2 == 0:   # i == 0; continue without increment the value of i <-- stuck here!continuei += 1print i
