Hmm...this must be a mind-set thing. I use the "else" clause with
for/while loops fairly regularly and would be miffed if their behavior
changed.
Could I work around their absence? Certainly.
Does it annoy me when I have to work in other languages that lack
Python's {for/while}/else functionality? You bet.
I can imagine that. Could you describe the general use-case? From what I
know, "else" is executed when you don't "break" the loop. When is this
useful?
Btw., I don't have any issue with else or whatever it is called. It's
just a word but it must fit intuition. And this is why I would rather
see "else" being used there. But this may result because of the lack of
usage of mine.
We can also re-use "except" for it. ;-)
Best,
Sven
