   #python has no do..while loop? this is a really strange language

     @splitbrain: 'while condition:'

     @splitbrain: it is, and do … while doesn't fit into the concept of indented blocks you must admit.

     @tante that's a while loop, not a do..while loop.

     @splitbrain: Since you can effordless translate on into the other, why have two options? Makes sense to offer just one way ;)

     @tante it's not effortless and requires more code. do..while is even in C - and they are masters in omitting convenience functions

     @splitbrain I'm sure that there is some other suitable #python magic for every situtation where a do..while loop would make sense (in C) :)

     @splitbrain while True: ... if condition: break
