No it doesn't. Perhaps you had something that worked but you did not
include a definition of "id" in your code so it crashed right away.

No, I am asking print to display two items. The first is "'<tr
bgcolor="%s">' % bg" and the second, following the comma, is "d" which
I simply added to show what iteration we were on. I assume that you
would be printing some data from "id" in the real code and wrapping it
in <td> tags.

Here is the output of the program I posted:
<tr bgcolor="#ffffff"> 1
<tr bgcolor="#d2d2d2"> 2
<tr bgcolor="#F6E5DF"> 3
<tr bgcolor="#EAF8D5"> 4
<tr bgcolor="#ffffff"> 5
<tr bgcolor="#d2d2d2"> 6
BTW, I am running Python 2.4.4. You?

Here is the complete script with the exact same output as above:
#! /usr/bin/env python
z = 3
bg = ('#ffffff', '#d2d2d2', '#F6E5DF', '#EAF8D5')
for d in (1,2,3,4,5,6):
z += 1
print '<tr bgcolor="%s">' % bg[z % 4], d
