variable assignment in "while" loop

[Sybren Stuvel]

Hi there,

Is it possible to use an assignment in a while-loop? I'd like to do
something like "loop while there is still something to be read, and if
there is, put it in this variable". I've been a C programmer since I
was 14, so a construct like:

while info = mydbcursor.fetchone():
	print "Information: "+str(info)

comes to mind. Unfortunately, this doesn't work. Is there a similar
construct in python?
