In the Python language, or any other language for that matter, I have never understood why they don't have a loop function. Here's what I mean, every time someone wants something to repeat itself, they have to write a while loop like this:

x = 0 while x < 10: function() x = x + 1 When, instead of writing all of that, you could do something similar to this: function().10 Where you can just type in the number 10 right next to it. It makes no since.

Ask on python-list/clp/gmane.comp.python.general for an explanation.
