I have a method (I'll call it foo) that will either return None or an object depending on a random value generated. What I want to happen is that if I call foo(), i.e, f = foo() and it returns None, to re-call it until it returns something else. I would think this would be done with a while loop, but can't seem to get the details right.

Even though a while will work, you will have tied up the CPU until the loop terminates. This is never a good idea.

What is your higher level goal?
