I often miss what can be done in other languages that support what I call 'side effect' assignment: while x = get_val_somewhere(): process(x) Although, I know that if I write the get function, I could make it an iterator, and do: for x in get_val_somewhere(): process(x) in which case, I'm even happier. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
