In this particular case, yes, but that's not the point of the post. Pylint doesn't check to see what's in the else clause, only whether there is an early exit from the body of the loop.

But is there a sensible use-case for a for loop with an else but no break? I can't think of one. There's no point changing pylint unless you can find a useful piece of code that it complains about.
