Yes, there is a for...else construct.
That's something. In 6+ years of Python programming I've never seen or
heard of this thing. This might be useful, apparently.
One use case is:
for x in list_of_items:
if x.value == desired_value:
desired_name = x.name
break
else:
print "Couldn't find %s" % x.value

What's broken here: Python or my brain?
Perhaps we should not answer that question.
I did phrase that rather provocatively, didn't I?
Well thanks. I'll try to learn less noisily in the future. :)
