Extract complex test as a function. Assuming conditions 1, 2 and 3 are
difficult enough not to put them all one one line, put them in a
function which describes what they're testing.

def should_do_12(args):
    if condition1:
        return False
    if condition2:
        return False
    if condition3:
        return False
    return True

while loop_condition:
    if should_do_12(args):
        stmt1
        stmt2
    stmt3
    stmt4

This is probably the right way to write it in C too.
