Please note that appending "\n" to ";" is the very same thing as replacing ";" with ";\n". Also note that the your description of the desired behavior does not match your example. You say "append "\n\t" after ":"", but thats not what happens in your example. There you append "\n\t\t\n\n\n\n\n\n" instead of "\n\t". That is confusing to me. Can you explain? /W -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
