Python single line while loop

In Python, I am trying to make a variable increment in value while it is less than another number. I know that it is possible to do a for loop in the form (print(x) for x in range(1, 5)). My question is, is there a similar way to do a while loop in this form, such as x += 1 while x < y?

x = 0
y = 10
while x < y:
    x +=1

>>> x
10

Well you can do it in a single line because Python allows that:

x = 0
while x < y: x +=1

It is not as readable, and it doesn't conform to PEP 8, but it is doable.

You could do something like this

n = 0 
while n < 1000: rn += n if not (n % 3 and n % 5) else 0

What you are seeing is a conditional expression but it comes at the price of some reduced readability

You can separate each statement with a semi-colon like so...

x = 0; y = 5 while(x < y): print(x); x=x+1
