> [Guido, on {for,while}/else]
How would a PEP to remove this feature fare today?
-1.
It took me a while (actually a long while) to start using else clauses in loops, but I've learned to love them. Although there aren't that many use cases, they make the code more readable (and writable) where they apply.
For me, for/else and while/else didn't make Python harder to learn; I just ignored them for some years.
And I'm horrified at the thought of having to go look for all occurrences if they were removed (if Py3k ever happens, I'd hope that it would be the one Python to use -- too many incompatibilities would probably mean two Pythons fighting each other).
