Oops...Of course that won't work.  I was translating the normal idiom
from Smalltalk, which uses #whileFalse:  in such situations instead of
#whileTrue:

It should read 
                
        while (! stream.atEnd()):
                element = stream.next()

As an aside, is there a Stream library for Python?  Similar to
Smalltalk's? I miss the idiom...If not, would anyone be interested in
having one? I could probably do it as a side project

It's a lot easier to extend a language by adding libraries than by
changing the syntax
