Hello all, First time post, so go gentle. :) During a twitter conversation with @simeonvisser, an idea emerged that he suggested I share here. The conversation began with me complaining that I'd like a third mode of explicit flow control in Python for-loops; the ability to repeat a loop iteration in whole. The reason for this was that I was parsing data where a datapoint indicated the end of a preceding sub-group, so the datapoint was both a data structure indicator *and* data in its own right. So I'd like to have iterated over the line once, branching into the flow control management part of an if/else, and then again to branch into the data management part of the same if/else. Yes, this is unnecessary and just a convenience for parsing that I'd like to see. During the discussion though, a much more versatile solution presented itself: repurposing the `continue` keyword to `continue with`, similarly to the repurposing of `yield` with `yield from`. This would avoid keyword bloat, but it would be explicit and intuitive to use, and would allow a pretty interesting extension of iteration with the for-loop. The idea is that `continue with` would allow injection of any datatype or variable, which becomes the next iterated item. So, saying `continue with 5` means that the next *x* in a loop structured as `for x in..` would be 5. This would satisfy my original, niche-y desire to re-iterate over something, but would also more broadly allow dynamic injection of *any* value into a for-loop iteration. As an extension to the language, it would present new and exciting ways to iterate infinitely by accident. It would also present new and exciting ways for people to trip up on mutable data; one way to misuse this is to iterate over data, modifying the data, then iterating over it again. The intention, rather, is that the repeated iteration allows re-iteration over unaltered data in response to a mid-iteration change in state (i.e., in my case, parsing a token, changing parser state, and then parsing the token again because it also carries informational content). However, bad data hygiene has always been part of Python, because it's a natural consequence of the pan-mutability that makes it such a great language. So, given that the same practices that an experienced Python dev learns to use would apply in this case, I don't think it adds anything that an experienced dev would trip over. As a language extension, I've never seen something like "continue with" in another language. You can mimic it with recursive functions and `cons`-ing the injection, but as a flow-control system for an imperative language, nope..and Python doesn't encourage or facilitate recursion anyway (no TCE). I'd love thoughts on this. It's unnecessary; but then, once something's declared turing complete you can accuse any additional feature of being unnecessary. I feel, more to the point, that it's in keeping with the Python philosophy and would add a novel twist to the language not seen elsewhere. best, Cathal -- Twitter: @onetruecathal, @formabiolabs Phone: +353876363185 Blog: http://indiebiotech.com miniLock.io: JjmYYngs7akLZUjkvFkuYdsZ3PyPHSZRBKNm6qTYKZfAM
