if condition:
do_something

do_something_completely_different

Therefore I would find "if not break" or even "and if not break" more

You couldn't have "if not break:" because that would look like the
start of an 'if' statement.


Do you mean as an implementation issue or for human readability?

I suppose you _could_ use "if not break:", but as 'if' normally 
indicates the start of an 'if' statement, you would get complaints about 
it! :-)


Maybe it would be clearer if it was "elif not break:". :-)

You may be right -- this has been discussed many, many times before. In
my personal opinion, the best (and only accurate!) phrase would have
been:

for item in sequence:
 # block
then:
 # block


​IMO,

for item in sequence:
 # block
nobreak:   # or perhaps `if not break:`
 # block

would be clearer (if the syntax is necessary at all).

​I don't have a strong opinion on this particular case, but if something
like this is changed in Python 5, I think the decision should be made much
earlier (now?) so that the old else syntax could be discouraged (and new
syntax potentially already introduced). The same thing would apply to many
other "possibly in Python 5" changes, where there is no reason to expect
that the situation is somehow different years later.

Re: [Python-Dev] for...else

2017-07-24 Thread Isaac Morland
The way I remember it is to observe that the following are *almost* exactly
the same thing:

if C:
T
else:
E

while C:
T
else:
E

The *only* differences are:

1) where execution jumps if it reaches the end of the T: in the "while", it
jumps back to the while itself, resulting in the condition being rechecked,
whereas in the "if" execution skips over the "else" to whatever follows; and

2) in the "while", inside the T "break" and "continue" relate to this
control structure rather than to a containing loop.

(At least I don't think I'm missing any other differences!)

Seen this way, the meaning of the "else" is easy to understand and to
remember.

And the for loop else is like the while loop else.

Note that since break itself is typically guarded by an "if" as in

for i in x:
...
if cond(i):
break
...
else:
...

you can match the "else" above to the "if" inside the loop.

You may be right -- this has been discussed many, many times before. In 
my personal opinion, the best (and only accurate!) phrase would have 
been:

for item in sequence:
# block
then:
# block

If you look at the byte-code generated by a for...else statement, you 
see that the "else" block is unconditionally executed after the for loop 
completes, unless something causes a jump outside of the entire 
statement: return, break, or raise. So it is more like:

- run the loop;
- *then* run the following block

rather than:

- run the loop;
- otherwise ("else") run the following block.

Others disagree and would prefer other keywords. But regardless, 
backwards compatibility means that we must keep "for...else", so I'm 
afraid that discussing alternatives is *almost certainly* a waste of 
time.

At this point, no, it is not practical to change the syntax used. Maybe 
when Python 3.0 was first introduced, but that ship has long sailed. It 
is very, very unlikely that the syntax for this will ever change, but if 
it does, it probably won't be until something in the distant future like 
Python 5.

But not Python 4: Guido has already ruled that Python 4 will not include 
major backwards-incompatible changes. Going from 3 to 4 will not be as 
disruptive as going from 2 to 3.

So depending on how you look at it: discussing alternative syntax to 
for...else is either ten years too late or ten years too early.

[Python-Dev] for...else

2017-07-24 Thread Kiuhnm via Python-Dev

Hello,

I think that the expression "for...else" or "while...else" is completely 
counter-intuitive. Wouldn't it be possible to make it clearer? Maybe 
something like


break in for i in range(n):
  ...
  if cond:
break
else:
  ...

I'm not an English native speaker so I don't know whether "break in" is 
acceptable English in this context or can only mean "to get into a 
building by force".
