  Thank you for your reply, this is all I needed to know:

  the loop is over when you outdent back to line up with the for statement


Indeed, the indentation rules are very simple. I just wanted to be sure
about what they were.



Sounds good. Three more comments: You replied to me privately, but everyone else deserves to know your problem is resolved. Usually you just do a Reply-all, and it'll go both to the list and to the individual(s) already involved.

And in commenting about indenting, I should clarify that you should never mix tabs and spaces in the same file. I used spaces exclusively, and have never run into problems. My editor does not put a tab in, it's configured differently.

Note also that a few other things indent, besides just for-loop. Same principle applies to if statements, functions, to class definitions, to with statements. Roughly, if the line ends with a colon, you probably should indent all the following lines that it controls.
