Or perhaps use a function instead...

def while_iter(f):
    while True:
        result = f()
        if (not result):
            return
        yield result

Then you can convert

    while info = mydbcursor.fetchone():
        print "Information: "+str(info)

trivially to

    for info in while_iter(lambda: mydbcursor.fetchone()):
        print "Information: "+str(info)

Regards,
Isaac.
