You could play with until in this form (in 2.4 generator expressions):

 >>> def until(cond):
 ...     if not cond: return True
 ...     raise StopIteration
 ...
 >>> for x in (x for x in xrange(10) if until(x==3)): print x,
 ...
 0 1 2

actually, that until would read better as "notyet" after the "if"
