Perhaps a DB example
works better. With assignment allowed in an evaluation, you'd be able to
write
while data = conn.fetchmany():
for row in data:
process(row)
whereas you have to write
while True:
data = conn.fetchmany()
if not data: break
for row in data:
process(row)
Or simpler
for data in iter(conn.fetchmany, []):
for row in data:
process(row)
provided that a block of rows is returned as a list - which might be
different among DB engines.
