There was a big related discussion on Python-list in April (subject "Looping" ). IMHO the cleanest way to denote an infinite loop would be the statement "loop:" Without introducing new keyword I think the optimal would be just "while:" I dont't like "while True:" simply because it does not make enough visual distinction with the "while condition:" statement. E.g. I can have while True: ... while Blue: .... Which adds some extra brain load. So if there was explicit "while:" or "loop:" I would update for it globally in my projects.
