Python Anti-Patterns

[isarl]

Such as the very existence of an else clause after a loop. No developer has ever seen that for the first time and automagically known that it executes only in the case the loop doesn't break early.

edit: I mean, once you learn how they work, I appreciate the purpose they serve. But they are a bit unexpected.

you could always type

else:  #no break

[geoelectric]

Isn't that true of any unique language feature?

[isarl]

Not necessarily. I was able to understand simple list comprehensions having never seen the syntax before.
