yuk.. I'd prefer the Pascal way to C's

while file.readline(line) do
 // whatever

however I don't know if variables passed to Python functions can be altered?

> while ( file.exists_next_line() ) :

I'd go for that.

however the file reading thing is just one example of while 1: so being able
to avoid it in this case is hardly any breakthough.
