Yes, I created the indent problem when manually copying the original

posting here using the desktop.)

Your examples really helped. Last night I played with using a for

really clarified things.

This loop was particularly interesting because I didn't know the else

problems.

I love this one for its conciseness, but will have to play with it to

Yeah, I really recommend Learning Python for getting the basics first.
It's very thorough in that regard. Dive Into Python is *not* for
beginners. I'm sorry if people disagree, but it's just not.

Sure, the author himself says so at the very beginning in http://www.diveintopython.org "Dive Into Python is a Python book for experienced programmers."

I know, but I just hear so many people recommend that book for people
who want to learn the language.
