Its a design flaw in Python.

There is no rational reason not to have it. Anyone who has worked with
Pascal or Rexx (or even regular expressions) knows that "one iteration
plus zero or more iterations" is NOT as good as "one or more 
iterations", because the resulting code is sloppier.

So while there are workarounds for this bit of illogic, they are, 
nonetheless workarounds.
