Mmm. Interesting, but unpythonic.

A decorator that executes the target right away?

I also tried:


with closure:
    while True:
        block


But the context-manager design is shortsighted, and it will exit on the
first exception it sees, no matter what.

I've tried everything, so I'm pretty sure that there's no clean solution in
2.7/3.3.
