how can I do width python a normal for loop width tree conditions like
for example :
for x=1;x<=100;x+x:
print x

What you wrote would appear to be an infinite loop so I'll assume you meant
to assign something to x each time round the loop as well. The simple
Python translation of what I think you meant would be:
x = 1
while x <= 100:
print x
x += x
If you really insist on doing it with a for loop:
def doubling(start, limit):
x = start
while x <= limit:
yield x
x += x
....
for x in doubling(1, 100):
print x

I was hopping to describe it with only one command. most of the
languages I know use this.
It seems weird to me their is no such thing in python. it's not that I
can't fined a solution it's all about saving code

You'd not save code, but only lines (and clearness). You'd also
need more (non-space) characters
Python saves confusion and arbitrariness =you'll usually code
faster, because you don't think so much about voluptuous
multimulti..pos sibilites, not worth the play: one-ness of mind
If insistent, you could sometimes save lines like this ;-)
x=1
while x<=100: print x; x+=x

Do you anticipate reusing it? You could make something a little more
extendable.
for x in iexpression( 'x', 1, 100, 'x+x' ):
print x
or
for x in iexpression( lambda x: x+x, 1, 100 ):
print x
I'm assuming you don't want or have a closed form, in this case x= 2**
_x.

Python: 'makes common things easy and uncommon things possible'.
The large majority of use cases for iteration are iterating though
sequences, actual and virtual, including integers with a constant step
size. Python make that trivial to do and clear to read. Your example is
trivially written as
for i in range(11):
print 2**i
Python provide while loops for more fine-grain control, and a protocol
so *reuseable* iterators can plug into for loops. Duncan showed you
both. If you *need* a doubling loop variable once, you probably need
one more than once, and the cost of the doubling generator is amortized
over all such uses. Any Python proprammer should definitely know how to
write such a thing without hardly thinking. We can squeeze a line out
of this particular example:
def doubling(value, limit):
while value <= limit:
yield value
value += value

I agree that using range() for simple iterations is the way to go.
Here are some examples of python expressions you'd use in specific
situations:
# instead of for (i = 0; i < 100; i++)
for i in range(100): pass
# instead of for (i = 10; i < 100; i++)
for i in range(10, 100): pass
# instead of for (i = 1; i < 100; i += 2)
for i in range(1, 100, 2): pass
# instead of for (i = 99; i >= 0; i--)
for i in range(100)[::-1]: pass
There's always a way to do it, and it's almost always really simple :-D

except that as Terry said, "The large majority of use cases for iteration

I very rarely use range() in iterations.

....
# instead of for (i = 99; i >= 0; i--)
for i in range(100)[::-1]: pass
or:
for i in xrange(99, -1, -1): pass

Could there be means of exiting nested loops in python?
something similar to labelled loops in perl..
I consider it irrating to have to make a flag for sole
purpose of checking it after loop if we need to break once more...
So maybe there should be an argument to break that is an int which is
a number of loops to break. So it would default to 1 (or whatever means
the current enclosing loop), not breaking any code...

Hello.
I am working my way through Zhang's "Teach yourself C in 24 hrs (2e)"
(Sam's series), and for nested loops, he writes (p116) "It's often
necessary to create a loop even when you are already in a loop." Then he
goes on to portray a contrived example that doesn't tell me under what
conditions a nested loop might be favoured as a solution? i.e. what are
nested loops useful for? What kinds of algorithms are served by nested
loops?...

I'm reading Text Processing in Python right now and I came across a

because I'm used to the C-style for loop where you create a counter

about doing something a certain number of times, and not about iterating
over an object.
The reason for this distinction comes from the fact that I read a lot
