We really are spoiled for choice here. We can write any of these: # Option 1 for spam in sequence: if predicate(spam): process(spam)
Adding a fourth option: for spam in sequence if predicate(spam): process(spam) saves absolutely nothing except a line and an indent level, neither of which are in short supply, and gains nothing in readability over Option 1.
So what is the big difference between this situation and the following: | else: | if condition: | whatever which in python we can write: | elif condition: | whatever So either is seems this was a design mistake or a line and an indent level can be important enough to allow a combination of controls. -- Antoon Pardon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
