    .SYNOPSIS
        Template for a Python `do` Loop
    .DESCRIPTION
        Template for a `do` loop in Python.
    .NOTES
        There is not a proper `do` loop in Python, so we have to be a little creative.

        This will produce a while loop where the `-InitialCondition` should always be true,
        and the `-Condition` will be checked at the end of each loop.

        If the `Condition` is false, then the loop will break.
    .EXAMPLE
        Template.DoLoop.py -Condition "False" -Body "print('This happens once')"
    #>

    # This determines if the loop should continue running.
    # This defaults to 0 > 1, so that the loop only occurs once

    # The Loop's Initial Condition.
    # Since Python does not have a `do` loop, this needs to be any truthy condition for the loop to run.
