In my programs the 'break' fails to work. I've studied the docs for
3.0 and Programming in Python, neither of which are illuminating.
Simplest example :
while True :
num = int(input())
print(num)
if num == 0 :
break
print('done')
SyntaxError : invalid syntax ( pointing to end of break )
This happens whether the 'break' is put on same line as the
conditional, flush with while, flush with if, or appropriately
indented 4 spaces.
It works for me, running it from file. It fails with "invalid
syntax" (pointing to the end of *print*) if I cut and paste
the program exactly into a Python shell, presumably because the
shell gets unhappy about having more command input when it
wants to be executing the while loop. Does this match what
you see?
