Infinite loop with WHILE
Hi,

I am posting a snippet of my code:
XsdModelList = self.Api.XsdModelList
while(len(XsdModelList)>0):
print XsdModelList.pop().getFileName()
print len(XsdModelList)


self.Api.XsdModelList is a list; when I run my code I am getting stuck in an infinite loop. can someone help what i am doing wrong?

Thanx

Could you not use a for loop instead

Code:
for item in XsdModelList:
    print item.getFileName()

It's possible that the XsdModelList object has an unusual definition of its __len__ method.
Code:
class dumbList(list):
    def __len__(self): return 18

Hmm, I used some print statements to see whats happening, the len() function counts down like it should and then stops at 0, but strangely the loop does not exit

Yup, thats the way I am using it right now, its just unusual that the loop didn't work the way I thought it should.

You don't use a while loop for something like this


Code:
a = [1,2,3]
for x in a:
  print x
