In this video, we look at a lesser known feature of Python for and while loops: they have an "else" clause.

You can use the else on a loop to indicate whether a loop completed successfully or not.

We give some practical examples so you see how to leverage this structure in your Python code.

Additionally, we learn how to utilize the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) to quickly identify this construct in Python files.

We use it in a script - linked below - to find use cases of our own as well as examples from 3rd party libraries (e.g. Django + Pillow).
