This is not a bug. "while" is a keyword, it is part of Python's syntax, and you are not permitted to use keywords as variable names. This is not an accident, but a deliberate decision. |

(... and is documented in The Python 3 and 2 Language Reference manuals: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html#keywords and https://docs.python.org/2/reference/lexical_analysis.html#keywords) |
