What's the best Python idiom for this C construct?

   while ((x = next()) != END) {

Now I'm doing

   x = next()
   while x != END:
       ....
       x = next()

There's not an iterator for this function, or I would
just use

   for x in ...

Use the magical second parameter to the `iter´ builtin:

   for x in iter(next, END):
       ...
