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..possibilites, not worth the play: one-ness of mind
If insistent, you could sometimes save lines like this ;-)
x=1

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.
Here are some examples of python expressions you'd use in specific

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

It shouldn't be about saving code. There's no shortage of code so that we
have to conserve it. But there is a shortage of time and effort, so
making your code easy to read and easy to maintain is far more important.
for x in (2**i for i in xrange(10)):
print x
will also print 1, 2, 4, 8, ... up to 1000.

And it should never be about conserving code.

I would say up to 512; perhaps your understanding of "up to" differs

Easy to read? I'd suggest this:

print 2 ** i

Also, Python IS NOT C (to be more specific: Python

Also, if the OP is finding himself writing such manual
and mundane looking loops, he/she should reconsider
what it is he/she is doing. You would normally want
to iterate (vs. loop) over a sequence of items.

Well, mine is based on Python's half-open semantics: "up to" 1000 doesn't
include 1000, and the highest power of 2 less than 1000 is 512.

Well, sure, if you want to do it the right way *wink*.
But seriously, no, that doesn't answer the OP's question. Look at his
original code (which I assume is C-like pseudo-code):
for x=1;x<=100;x+x:
print x
The loop variable i takes the values 1, 2, 4, 8, etc. That's what my code
does. If he was asking how to write the following in Python, your answer
would be appropriate:
for x=1;x<=100;x++:
print 2**x

We're talking about an English sentence, not a piece of Python code.
When you say "I'm taking the train to X", do you get off at the
station before X, as in "getting off at Redfern"?

But I don't say "I'm taking the train UP TO X".
Intervals in English are often ambiguous, which is why people often
explicitly say "up to and including...". But in this specific case, I
don't see why you're having difficulty. Whether 1000 was included or not
makes no difference, because 1000 is not a power of 2.
