Infinite for loops possible in Python?

Question

Is it possible to get an infinite loop in for loop?

My guess is that there can be an infinite for loop in Python. I\'d like to know this for future refe

Answer 1

Using itertools.count:

import itertools
for i in itertools.count():
    pass

In Python3, range() can go much higher, though not to infinity:

import sys
for i in range(sys.maxsize**10):  # you could go even higher if you really want but not infinity
    pass

Another way can be

def to_infinity():
    index=0
    while 1:
        yield index
        index += 1

for i in to_infinity():
    pass
