Please reject the PEP. More variations along these lines won't make the language more elegant or easier to learn. They'd just save a few hasty folks some typing while making others who have to read/maintain their code wonder what it means.

The PEP is deferred because it seems that
while True:
if condition: break is good enough. I agree. We should reject the PEP and summarise the status. Alternatively, the only way I think we can improve on the syntax above is something like this: do:if condition: break or without a new keyword: while:if condition: break The empty-predicate variant would let Python check whether there's actually a break in the body of the loop. -- Best regards, Łukasz Langa WWW: http://lukasz.langa.pl/ Twitter: @llanga IRC: ambv on #python-dev
