Okay... so why don't we consider the else in *if*-else unconditional? After all, the same logic applies: it only doesn't run if a statement defined to jump past it (in one case, the true part of the if statement - in the other case, a break) is run. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
