I think the majority of the time, refactoring it into a function actually makes it better, or at least neutral. The problem is that occasionally it really does make it significantly worse, and that’s when you really wish named break existed. But I think two people already said that’s about once/year for them? That sounds about right to me, too. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/5CK6L6R5E5MBZQHDWDVRVWJLGXVZV4VD/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
