Please reject the PEP. More variations along these lines won't make the language more elegant or easier to learn. They'd just save a few hasty folks some typing while making others who have to read/maintain their code wonder what it means. --Guido On Wed, Jun 26, 2013 at 1:47 AM, Łukasz Langa <lukasz@langa.pl> wrote:
The PEP is deferred because it seems that
while True: <code> if condition: break
is good enough. I agree. We should reject the PEP and summarise the status. Alternatively, the only way I think we can improve on the syntax above is something like this:
do: <code> if condition: break
or without a new keyword:
while: <code> if condition: break
The empty-predicate variant would let Python check whether there's actually a break in the body of the loop.
