I too have occasionally used for ... else. It does have its uses. But
oh, how I wish it had been called something else more meaningful,
whether 'nobreak' or whatever. It used to really confuse me. Now I've
learned to mentally replace "else" by "if nobreak", it confuses me a bit
less.

I think there are other places I could be using it, but honestly I tend to
forget it’s available.

So, seriously, why they needed else if the following pieces produce same
result? Does anyone know or remember their motivation?
Just wrote code wherein I used "else"! This:
import locale
for name in( 'de', 'de_DE', 'deu_deu', 'deu', 'German', 'Deutsch' ):
try: locale.setlocale( locale.LC_ALL, name ); break
except locale.Error: pass
else: print( "Programm kann deutsche Schreibweise nicht einrichten." )
