I'd much prefer the following :
## Beginning of a program block
count = 99 # Set the variable count as a name for the
integer object 99
while count > 0: # if count is the name of 0 or less then
exit the loop (this will NEVER happen)
## Beginning of a while loop
print u'%d slabs of spam in my mail!' % count
print u'%d slabs of spam,' % count
print u'Send one to abuse and Just Hit Delete,'
count += 1
print u'%d slabs of spam in my mail!' % count
print u''
## End of a while loop
## End of a program block
Which is reeeaaally easier to understand than :
count = 99
while True
print u'%d slabs of spam in my mail!' % count
print u'%d slabs of spam,' % count
print u'Send one to abuse and Just Hit Delete,'
count += 1
print u'%d slabs of spam in my mail!' % count
print u''
