copied!<p>It's been present since the beginning. To see that, get the source from alt.sources, specifically the message titled "<a href="http://groups.google.com/group/alt.sources/browse_thread/thread/74a577bbcfc4be0a/cbaaec4fbfebbbb6" rel="noreferrer">Python 0.9.1 part 17/21</a>". The date is Feb 21, 1991. This post included the grammar definition, which states:</p> <pre><code>for_stmt: 'for' exprlist 'in' exprlist ':' suite ['else' ':' suite] </code></pre> <p>You might be able to find the 0.9.0 sources if you try harder than I did, but as the first public release was 0.9.0 on 20 Feb, that would get you back one day. The 0.9.1 release was a minor patch that did not affect this part of the grammar.</p> <p>(Is that a <a href="http://catb.org/jargon/html/U/UTSL.html" rel="noreferrer">UTSL</a> reference or what? When was the last time <em>you</em> looked at a shar file? ;)</p> <p>BTW, I reconstructed the original source and tweaked it a bit to compile under gcc-4.0 on my OS X 10.4 box. <a href="http://www.dalkescientific.com/writings/diary/archive/2009/03/27/python_0_9_1p1.html" rel="noreferrer">Details</a> for those interested few, including <a href="http://dalkescientific.com/Python/python-0.9.1.tar.gz" rel="noreferrer">python-0.9.1.tar.gz</a>.</p> <p>The entire development history is available from version control, even after changing version control systems twice. "hg log -p -r 6:7" from the cpython Mercurial archive shows that the "for/else" was committed on Sun Oct 14 12:07:46 1990 +0000, and the previous commit was Sat Oct 13 19:23:40 1990 +0000. for/else has been part of Python since October 1990. </p>
