Care to explain why? I can see it works as expected:
$ ./python
Python 3.2rc3+ (py3k, Feb 17 2011, 21:31:25)
[GCC 4.4.5] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> for n in range(2, 10):
... for x in range(2, n):
... if n % x == 0:
... print(n, 'equals', x, '*', n//x)
... break
... else:
... # loop fell through without finding a factor
... print(n, 'is a prime number')
...
2 is a prime number
3 is a prime number
4 equals 2 * 2
5 is a prime number
6 equals 2 * 3
7 is a prime number
8 equals 2 * 4
9 equals 3 * 3
