How to skip iterations in a loop?

I have a loop going, but there is the possibility for exceptions to be raised inside the loop. This of course would stop my program all together. To prevent that I catch the exceptions and handle them. But then the rest of the iteration runs even though an exception occurred. Is there a keyword to use in my except: clause to just skip the rest of the current iteration?

for i in iterator:
    try:
        # Do something.
        pass
    except:
        # Continue to next iteration.
        continue

Something like this?

for i in xrange( someBigNumber ):
    try:
        doSomethingThatMightFail()
    except SomeException, e:
        continue
    doSomethingWhenNothingFailed()
