In Python IDLE Shell it seems I cannot use a compound conditional expression and a while loop. I tried it within brackets too.

k=0
m=0
while k<10 & m<10:
    print k
    k +=1
    m+=1

If I write

 while k<10:
    print k
    k+=1

This does work. Is there a way I could achieve the first block of code with the "and" operator. I have done it in Java. Do I just need to put together "if" statements to achieve the same functionality in Python?
