For what it's worth: Science and engineering students in the college intro physics course who use Python (VPython) to model physical systems typically have no prior programming experience, so it is necessary in a crowded physics curriculum to teach them only a very small minimalist subset of Python programming concepts and forms. It is possible to go a very long ways with "while" being the only iteration mechanism.
