do {
  stuff()
} while (condition())

->

while True:
  stuff()
  if not condition():
    break

你可以做一个函数:

def do_while(stuff, condition):
  while condition(stuff()):
    pass

但 1)它很丑。 2) Condition应该是一个只有一个参数的函数，应该由东西填充(这是不使用经典while循环的唯一原因)。

用于包含try语句的do - while循环

loop = True
while loop:
    generic_stuff()
    try:
        questionable_stuff()
#       to break from successful completion
#       loop = False  
    except:
        optional_stuff()
#       to break from unsuccessful completion - 
#       the case referenced in the OP's question
        loop = False
   finally:
        more_generic_stuff()

或者，当不需要'finally'从句时

while True:
    generic_stuff()
    try:
        questionable_stuff()
#       to break from successful completion
#       break  
    except:
        optional_stuff()
#       to break from unsuccessful completion - 
#       the case referenced in the OP's question
        break

这里有一个不同模式的更疯狂的解决方案——使用协程。代码仍然非常相似，但有一个重要的区别;根本就没有退出条件!当您停止向协程提供数据时，协程(实际上是协程链)就会停止。

def coroutine(func):
    """Coroutine decorator

    Coroutines must be started, advanced to their first "yield" point,
    and this decorator does this automatically.
    """
    def startcr(*ar, **kw):
        cr = func(*ar, **kw)
        cr.next()
        return cr
    return startcr

@coroutine
def collector(storage):
    """Act as "sink" and collect all sent in @storage"""
    while True:
        storage.append((yield))

@coroutine      
def state_machine(sink):
    """ .send() new parts to be tokenized by the state machine,
    tokens are passed on to @sink
    """ 
    s = ""
    state = STATE_CODE
    while True: 
        if state is STATE_CODE :
            if "//" in s :
                sink.send((TOKEN_COMMENT, s.split( "//" )[1] ))
                state = STATE_COMMENT
            else :
                sink.send(( TOKEN_CODE, s ))
        if state is STATE_COMMENT :
            if "//" in s :
                sink.send(( TOKEN_COMMENT, s.split( "//" )[1] ))
            else
                state = STATE_CODE
                # re-evaluate same line
                continue
        s = (yield)

tokens = []
sm = state_machine(collector(tokens))
for piece in i:
    sm.send(piece)

上面的代码将所有令牌收集为令牌中的元组，我假设原始代码中的.append()和.add()之间没有区别。

下面的代码可能是一个有用的实现，突出了do-while和while之间的主要区别。

在这种情况下，你总是至少要循环一次。

first_pass = True
while first_pass or condition:
    first_pass = False
    do_stuff()

我不知道你想干什么。你可以像这样实现一个do-while循环:

while True:
  stuff()
  if fail_condition:
    break

Or:

stuff()
while not fail_condition:
  stuff()

你为什么要用一个do while循环来打印列表中的东西?为什么不直接使用:

for i in l:
  print i
print "done"

更新:

你有台词清单吗?你想一直遍历它吗?如何:

for s in l: 
  while True: 
    stuff() 
    # use a "break" instead of s = i.next()

这看起来像是你想要的吗?对于您的代码示例，它将是:

for s in some_list:
  while True:
    if state is STATE_CODE:
      if "//" in s:
        tokens.add( TOKEN_COMMENT, s.split( "//" )[1] )
        state = STATE_COMMENT
      else :
        tokens.add( TOKEN_CODE, s )
    if state is STATE_COMMENT:
      if "//" in s:
        tokens.append( TOKEN_COMMENT, s.split( "//" )[1] )
        break # get next s
      else:
        state = STATE_CODE
        # re-evaluate same line
        # continues automatically

Python 3.8给出了答案。

它叫做赋值表达式。从文档中可以看到:

# Loop over fixed length blocks
while (block := f.read(256)) != '':
    process(block)
