Hi all, This is my first post to this group--I'm not subscribed, so please CC me in responses.
So I'm sure a lot of you have run into the following pattern. I use it all the time and it always has felt a bit awkward due to the duplicate variable assignment. VAR = EXPR while VAR: BLOCK VAR = EXPR I'm curious what the possibility of adding the following to Python as syntactic sugar: while EXPR as VAR: BLOCK Apologies if that has been proposed before. I searched the archives and couldn't find any mention of it. Best, Dan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
