Suppose you have a huge string, and you want to quote it. Here's the obvious
way:

You may find it aesthetically pleasing, and it may very well be, but it
will obfuscate your code and make it less maintainable.

My code has a lot of while loops of the following format:
while True:
...
if : break
The danger with such a code is that it might go to an infinite loop
- if the never occurs.
Is there a way - a python trick - to have a check such that if the
loop goes for more than x numbe

Set up an iterable that will end under the right conditions. Then,
iterate over that with ‘for foo in that_iterable’. This idiom is
usually far more expressive than any tricks with ‘while’ loops and
‘break’ statements.

Hi,

loop goes for more than x nu
