Thanks, Steven.

Those links led to the complete discussions, including this one with a "loop:"  keyword.

In short "while:"  won't likely ever make it, and adding new keywords to Python only happens on a _absolute-need_  basis.

Google :-)

This might get you started:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Mikhail+loop+site%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fmail.python.org%2Fpipermail%2Fpython-ideas

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

This thread might also be relevant:
