else works just fine with while; it is the path taken when the while is 
exhausted, but not broken out of:

--> i = 5
--> while i:
...   print(i)
...   i -= 1
... else:
...   print("blast off!")
...
5
4
3
2
1
blast off!


--> i = 5
--> while i:
...   print(i)
...   i -= 1
...   if i == 3:
...     print('aborting')
...     break
... else:
...   print("blast off!")
...
5
4
aborting
