Python is miles away from a C 'for'.
Yes, just one case. In Python you write a loop with one exit in one way, a loop with two exits in a different way, and a loop with more than two exits in yet another entirely different way. Can you say “cognitive burden”? The for-statement in C handles most of my looping requirements. I rarely use while-loops, and do-whiles almost not at all--not for looping, anyway <https://github.com/ldo/dvd_menu_animator/blob/master/spuhelper.c>. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
