getting rid of pass

[David Murmann]

Hi all!

i just had this crazy idea:

instead of

while cond():
    pass

write

while cond().

or

try:
    import xyz
except ImportError:
    pass

compared to

try:
    import xyz
except ImportError.

i don't know whether this is syntactically unambiguous or replaces all
uses of pass, but i find it quite nice to read.

also if something like this has been proposed before and rejected, i
apologize for this late-in-the-night idea.

what do you people think?


have a nice day, David.
