Has any thought been given to adding elif to the for statement?

I don't think it is a good idea because it needlessly, from my point of view, embeds too much complexity into a single construct (making it more difficult to maintain, for instance). That's what language designer's do though--they kick ideas like that around. If you have a great idea, maybe propose a new language.


for x in foo:
    if y: break
elif a==b:
    something
else:
    something else

as a shortcut to:
for x in foo:
    if y: break
else:
    if a==b:
        something
else:
        something else
