python – syntaxError: continue not properly in loop

python – syntaxError: continue not properly in loop

continue is only allowed within a for or while loop. You can easily restructure your function to loop until a valid request.

def writeHandlesToFile():
    while True:
        with open(dataFile.txt,w) as f:
            try:
                lst = tweepy.Cursor(tweepy.api.followers,screen_name=someHandle,).items(100000)
                print cursor executed
                for item in lst:
                    f.write(item.screen_name+n)
                break
            except tweepy.error.TweepError as e:
                print In the except method
                print e
                time.sleep(3600)

The problem might be in the way you are using continue

continue may only occur syntactically nested in a for or while loop,
but not nested in a function or class definition or finally statement
within that loop.6.1It continues with the next cycle of the nearest
enclosing loop.
