Consider the following pseudoPython which you should understand: label: loop if cond: do_something() goto loop else: do_else() We actually write the above as while cond: do_something() else: do_else() Same meaning; do_else is executed when condition is false. A for-loop is equivalent to a while loop with the condition 'iterator is not exhausted'. So do_else when that condition is false -- the iterator is exhausted.
