Occasionally it is useful to loop over a bunch of stuff in the interactive
interpreter, printing them as you go on a single line:
for x in something():
print(x, end='')
If you do that, the prompt overwrites your output, and you get a mess:
py> for x in "abcdefgh":
... print(x, end='')
...
py> efghpy>
"For ... else" to the rescue!
py> for char in "abcdefgh":
... print(char, end='')
... else:
... print()
...
abcdefgh
py>

“Cheer up,” they said, “things could be worse.” So I cheered up, and sure
enough, things got worse.
