> Please try: > > while go(3): > while go(3): > print 'Think about it...' This doesn't work with nested loops as well as Go(count) and again(). I use 'for i in range(3)'. IMO it's good to name an index variable even if it's not used inside the loop - it has the noble purpose of being a loop index and therefore it is not 'dummy' in any way :). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
