How do you make an infinite printing loop in python?

Question

I'm new to python, and don't know much about loops. How would I make an infinite printing loop?

@TigerhawkT3 This question is going to get closed lol, let the OP have some fun ;) — logic, Apr 29 '15 at 00:54
Well, there are reasons you might want to do that—say `x` is an expression that takes 3 seconds to calculate, and you want it to keep printing a value every 3 seconds until you hit Ctrl-C or the other side closes the pipe or whatever… But I doubt the OP has one of those reasons. — abarnert, Apr 29 '15 at 00:55
just a guess, I think OP might want infinite loop printing with **time interval** between each print, and he didn't know how to describe it in question — Neverever, Apr 29 '15 at 00:55
Or maybe he's just testing whether Python is faster than his terminal's stdout (which can be an interesting test with Windows cmd.exe or Cygwin terminals). :) — abarnert, Apr 29 '15 at 00:56
@abarnert True, but as of now, the question isn't detailed enough to make assumptions, and it doesn't really show any research effort. A simple Google search could answer it. — logic, Apr 29 '15 at 00:57
@logic: Sure; as I said "I doubt the OP has one of those reasons". If he does, it's up to him to tell us what he's trying to do. — abarnert, Apr 29 '15 at 01:05

You can use this:

while True:
    print("Whatever you want to print")

This is not suggested though, because it will leave your program running forever and that is not good.
