Look carefully at your indentation. One "else" statement is at the same indentation as a "for" statement rather than an "if" statement. So what, you say? http://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/controlflow.html "Loop statements may have an else clause; it is executed when the loop terminates through exhaustion of the list (with for) or when the condition becomes false (with while), but not when the loop is terminated by a break statement." I don't know of any other computer programming language besides Python which has the "for...break...else" idiom. However, I know quite a few that do not. I find it useful in many situations. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
