Is it possible to implement pre- or post-conditions in Python loops, and how?

Python does not have built-in precondition (like while) and postcondition (like do-while in other languages) loops, but both can be implemented.
- A precondition loop is a regular
whilethat checks the condition before each iteration:
while condition:
# loop body
- A postcondition loop (similar to
do-while) can be simulated using an infinite loop with a condition check inside:
while True:
# loop body
if not condition:
break
Thus, in Python, precondition loops are directly implemented with while, and postcondition loops with while True and break.
