Yes, quite normal. This is Python's version of do...until, synthesized from while and break. As most people use the term, this is *not* structurally an infinite loop (meaning no break) and also not functionally so unless the condition is such that it never breaks either for some or all inputs to the function. > I am trying to allow two modes of concurrency, (threading, and > pseudo-threading using generators) without having to change my > application code.

One Python level approach would be to quote the text of the function defs that need to switch and then either programmatically edit them or not before exec-ing them. Also messy, but more robust against version and implementation changes. Terry J. Reedy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
