    keep_trying = True
    while keep_trying:
        a = getobject( )
        if a:
            process( a )
            morestuff( a )
        else:
            keep_trying = False

Or:

    a = getobject( )
    while a:
        process( a )
        morestuff( a )
        a = getobject( )

although some people dislike the redundancy more than the extra flag or
the break statement.

OTOH, these arguments have all been had before.  Google for things like
"loop and a half."
