Hi,

If the point is to get some value that matches a predicate, how about this?

next(value for value in iterable if predicate(value))

If a "no value" marker is desired instead of StopIteration:

next((value for value in iterable if predicate(value)), None)

But yes, assignment-expression is still required to avoid the while 
True/if/break dance.
