Doing what? What is the code supposed to do? What's "empty" mean as a
keyword?

If you explain what your friends wants, then perhaps we can suggest
something. Otherwise we're just guessing. I can think of at least two
different meanings:

* run the "empty" block only if my_iterable is empty at the start of the
first loop;

* run the "empty" block if my_iterable becomes empty after the first loop.
