no-else-break / R1723

Message emitted:

Unnecessary "%s" after "break", %s

Description:

Used in order to highlight an unnecessary block of code following an if containing a break statement. As such, it will warn when it encounters an else following a chain of ifs, all of them containing a break statement.

Problematic code:

def next_seven_elements(iterator):
    for i, item in enumerate(iterator):
        if i == 7:  # [no-else-break]
            break
        else:
            yield item

Correct code:

def next_seven_elements(iterator):
    for i, item in enumerate(iterator):
        if i == 7:
            break
        yield item
