GPs example is perfectly valid as well - this is just a restatement of the same logic in a way that keeps the logic contained within the loop at the cost of using a conditional plus a break inside of an unconditional loop. See [0]:

  Another motivating code pattern is the "loop and a half".
 
  It was once common for processing a file by line, but that 
  has been solved by making file objects iterable; however 
  other non-iterable interfaces still suffer from patterns 
  like:
  
  line = f.readline()
  while line:
      ...  # process line
      line = f.readline()
  
  or like this:
  
  while True:
      line = f.readline()
      if not line:
          break
      ... # process line

  Either of those could be replaced with a much more clear
  and concise version using an assignment expression:

  while line := f.readline():
      ... # process line
