Python: Return outside function error? Tried redoing indentation, spacing, etc.

[cantor]

Hi, I'm fairly new to python, and I keep getting an error 'return outside function'. I've looked around, and tried reformatting, redoing the indenting, and I still get the same error. Can anyone help me?

def syllableCount( someString ):
    for syllSet in myDict[someString]:
        for element in syllSet:
            if (element[-1] == 0 or element[-1] == 1):
                return element[-1]

There does not appear to be an issue with the posted code. Maybe there is an issue with myDict. Can you post a sample?

Also post the complete traceback that includes the offending line.
