while loop with the condition used in the body

[Ulrich Eckhardt]

Hi!

I'm looking for a way to write code similar to this C code:

  while(rq = get_request(..)) {
     handle_request(rq);
  }

Currently I'm doing

  while True:
      rq = get_request(...)
      if not rq:
          break
      handle_request(rq)

in Python 2.6. Any suggestions how to rewrite that?

Uli
