Why there is no do while loop in python

Question

Why doesn't Python have a 'do while' loop like many other programming language, such as C?

Example : In the C we have do while loop as below :

do {

statement(s);

} while( condition );

Answer 1

There is no do...while loop because there is no nice way to define one that fits in the statement: indented block pattern used by every other Python compound statement. As such proposals to add such syntax have never reached agreement.

Nor is there really any need to have such a construct, not when you can just do:

while True:

   # statement(s)

if not condition:

   break

and have the exact same effect as a C do { .. } while condition loop.
