You could use
if True:
# do stuff
but I have no sympathy for such self-inflicted noise.
With Python 2.5 you can do even better -- you can emulate what should have
been RAII in your C++ example in the first place:
from __future__ import with_statement
from contextlib import contextmanager
def push_matrix():
print "push"
def pop_matrix():
print "pop"
@contextmanager
def matrix():
m = push_matrix()
try:
yield m
finally:
pop_matrix()
with matrix():
print "do stuff"
with matrix():
print "do more stuff"
