Infinite for loops possible in Python?

python loops for-loop infinite-loop infinite

To answer your question using a for loop as requested, this would loop forever as 1 will never be equal to 0:

for _ in iter(int, 1):    pass

If you wanted an infinite loop using numbers that were incrementing as per the first answer you could use itertools.count:

from itertools import countfor i in count(0):    ....

The quintessential example of an infinite loop in Python is:

while True:    pass

To apply this to a for loop, use a generator (simplest form):

def infinity():    while True:        yield

This can be used as follows:

for _ in infinity():    pass

Yes, use a generator that always yields another number:Here is an example

def zero_to_infinity():    i = 0    while True:        yield i        i += 1for x in zero_to_infinity():    print(x)

It is also possible to achieve this by mutating the list you're iterating on, for example:

l = [1]for x in l:    l.append(x + 1)    print(x)
