But the feature is already there:

for x in <iterable>:
     BLOCK1
     if <condition>:
         ALSO-BLOCK
         break
else:
     BLOCK2

If find "else" fine, since the only times I used it is in searches:

for x in <iterable>
     BLOCK1
     if <gotcha-condition>: break
else:
     raise Exception('Not found')

In that case, 'else' sounds like the good keyword.
