I need more footnotes. :) Does every shell command not have indentation? How can you tell if the shell command is supposed to be in the loop or after the loop? for index in range(10): # do something echo %(index)d Is the above equivalent to Python pseudo-code solution A or B? Solution A, for index in range(10): #do something Popen('echo', file_path) Solution B, for index in range(10): #do something Popen('echo', file_path) How do I make achieve the other solution?
