希望这能有所帮助:

x = True
y = True
while x == True:
    while y == True:
         ok = get_input("Is this ok? (y/n)") 
         if ok == "y" or ok == "Y":
             x,y = False,False #breaks from both loops
         if ok == "n" or ok == "N": 
             break #breaks from just one

我的第一反应是将嵌套循环重构为一个函数，并使用return来跳出。

尝试使用无限发电机。

from itertools import repeat
inputs = (get_input("Is this ok? (y/n)") for _ in repeat(None))
response = (i.lower()=="y" for i in inputs if i.lower() in ("y", "n"))

while True:
    #snip: print out current state
    if next(response):
        break
    #do more processing with menus and stuff

首先，普通的逻辑是有用的。

如果由于某种原因，终止条件无法确定，例外是一个后备计划。

class GetOutOfLoop( Exception ):
    pass

try:
    done= False
    while not done:
        isok= False
        while not (done or isok):
            ok = get_input("Is this ok? (y/n)")
            if ok in ("y", "Y") or ok in ("n", "N") : 
                done= True # probably better
                raise GetOutOfLoop
        # other stuff
except GetOutOfLoop:
    pass

对于这个特定的示例，可能不需要异常。

另一方面，在字符模式应用程序中，我们经常有“Y”、“N”和“Q”选项。对于"Q"选项，我们要立即退出。这是比较特殊的。

# this version breaks up to a certain label

break_label = None
while True:
    # snip: print out current state
    while True:
        ok = get_input("Is this ok? (y/n)")
        if ok == "y" or ok == "Y":
            break_label = "outer"   # specify label to break to
            break
        if ok == "n" or ok == "N":
            break
    if break_label:
        if break_label != "inner":
            break                   # propagate up
        break_label = None          # we have arrived!
if break_label:
    if break_label != "outer":
        break                       # propagate up
    break_label = None              # we have arrived!

#do more processing with menus and stuff

尽量减少对OP的问题的改变，我只是在打破第一个for循环之前添加了一个标志，并检查外部循环上的标志，看看我们是否需要再次刹车。

break_2 = False
while True:
    # Snip: print out current state
    if break_2: break
    while True:
        ok = get_input("Is this ok? (y/n)")
        if ok.lower() == "y": break_2 = True
        if break_2: break
        if ok.lower() == "n": break
    # Do more processing with menus and stuff
