I ended up going with something quite similar:

#####################################################
if options.angle:
   junk = sys.stdout.write( "0.00  " )
   variables = [pi/20*k for k in range(1,8)]
else:
   junk = sys.stdout.write( "  0%  " )
   variables = [0.1*k for k in range(1,8)]

# ...

# Loop over a range of angle or compensation values
for variable in variables:
   # Do stuff
####################################################


Much clearer and less "cute".

(Yes, the range of angles changed from my prototype.)

What happens if you play John Cage's "4'33" at a slower tempo?
