Guido has repeatedly (haha) rejected this proposal [0]. He has written

always loops over data, and does not want an arbitrary number of
iterations. The range object solves this problem.
Years ago, I proposed a do...loop. Guido rejected that.
As an aside, here's a pattern you can use for do...loops.
def do_loop():
if True:
return True return False while do_loop():
pass
Cheers,
