Hi,
there's no do .. until in Python, but while exists.
So just invert your condition and use it at the top of a while loop (as
you could do in C as well).
Note also that your importing math inside the loop doesn't make sense.
You want to import the module once in the beginning instead.
Best,
Wolfgang
