useless-else-on-loop / W0120

Message emitted:

Else clause on loop without a break statement, remove the else and de-indent all the code inside it

Description:

Loops should only have an else clause if they can exit early with a break statement, otherwise the statements under else should be on the same scope as the loop itself.

Problematic code:

def find_even_number(numbers):
    for x in numbers:
        if x % 2 == 0:
            return x
    else:  # [useless-else-on-loop]
        print("Did not find an even number")

Correct code:

def find_even_number(numbers):
    for x in numbers:
        if x % 2 == 0:
            return x
    print("Did not find an even number")
