Thanks, Steven. Those links led to the complete discussions, including this one with a "loop:" keyword. https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2014-June/028202.html In short "while:" won't likely ever make it, and adding new keywords to Python only happens on a _absolute-need_ basis.

A `loop:` statement to replace `while True:` has probably been discussed at length more than once.
Does anyone keep links to the discussions?
Google :-)
This might get you started:

I think Mikhail has raised the same question on the Python-List mailing list, but the level of noise there is probably higher.
