C's: for (;;) statement I would call an idiom. Python's while True: body is about as straightforward as it gets. > Python's byte-code does at least optimise I don't understand why there's so much talk about CPython's bytecode on this list. That should only be of interest to active CPython developers. Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
