[Python-ideas] "While" suggestion

[Leif Walsh]

I am against while...as syntax for a reason given above (doesn't map
to an english statement nearly as well as with...as does).

Besides, you can write much clearer code by making yourself a
generator somewhere else that does the nasty bits, and then using a
for loop to actually consume the data, like you should:

def kilogenerator(file):
    while True:
        try:
            yield file.read(1024)
        except EOFError: # or whatever
            return

for kilo in kilogenerator(myfile):
    process(kilo)
