Unfortunately, some of them seem to be reasons from
my point of view to put "*do* use while True" on the
"Best Practices" list. �
Really? Which ones?
Some of the constructs you
seem to like ring big alarm bells with me, because
I've found entirely too many bugs hidden by them.
For example?
Well, this one's always popular:
done = False
while not done:
do_stuff()
done = worry_about_stuff()
do_more_stuff_at_great_length()
done = worry_about_more_stuff()
and_so_on()
