You're kidding, aren't you?  while loops are meant for those times when
you don't know how many times the loop is to iterate.

def repeat_a_lot():
    for _ in xrange(20):
        m = RSA.generate(1024)
        b = hashlib.sha1()
        b.update(str(m))
        a = b.hexdigest()
        print a[:16] + '.onion'

repeat_a_lot()
