Catch Exception in for Loop Python

I have the below for loop:

for batch in loader:
    # do something with batch
    ...

My loop sometimes fails, while extracting the batch from the loader. What I want to do is something similar to snippet below, but I would like to be able to continue the loop on the next value, rather than skip the rest of the values.

error_idxs = [] 

try:
    for i,batch in enumerate(loader):
        # do something with batch
        ...
except:
    error_idxs.append(i)

The problem with the method above is that it exits out of the loop as soon as an exception happens rather than continuing with the next batch.

Is there a way to continue looping at the next batch?

error_idxs = []
i = 0
while True:
    try:
        batch = next(loader)
        # do something
    except StopIteration:
        break
    except Exception:
        error_idxs.append(i)
    finally:
        i += 1

Edit: Corrected StopIterationError to StopIteration and removed continue

You may use while loop instead.

Here it will be extracted inside loop so exception can be caught inside loop and handled and continued with rest!

error_idxs = [] 

i = -1
while i < len(loader) -1:
    try:
        i = i + 1
        batch = loader[i]
        do something witth batch
        ...
    except:
        error_idxs.append(i)
