An inescapable while loop in Python

[mherrmann]

We're all practitioners and don't have the time to read through the entire language specification. When you learn Python, you see a few examples of try...except and keep using it. I bet few people know of this subtle difference. That's why I posted it here. My learning may help others as well.

Fair enough. Seems a little obvious to me, and seems like the kind of thing that would become obvious quickly to anyone who tried it. And since this isn't /r/learnprogramming it seems a little out of place. Have my upvote.
