The current pattern in Python would be something like:
v = get_something()
while v != INCONVENIENT_SENTINEL:
do_something(v)
v = get_something()
With "as" allowed in "while", they pattern might be:
while get_something() as v:
if v == INCONVENIENT_SENTINEL:
break
do_something(v)
The discussion isn't over, so it could also be:
while (get_something() as v) != INCONVENIENT_SENTINEL:
do_something(v)
