Others have explained the Python way to do this, fine.

I think this points out deficiencies of the documentation.

The repeat .. until construct is familiar to those of us that have come
from other languages and it would not hurt for the docs to show the
standard Python idiom. Also, it would be helpful for the docs to come
with built-in search capability.
