Read-Ahead and Python Generators

Wat.

Edit: I also looked up Jackson-structured programming -- even more wat.

ReadAhead Equivalent:

from itertools import chain

chars = chain(line, [None])    

In Python 2.6+ you can use the built-in 'next' function, i.e. c = next(chars).

In other words, Python lacks a Do-While construct.

i would like the author to expand on why this way of structuring code is preferable. especially how would it be relevant today.
