doen't know how long is len(blocks), if it's very long you could
accelerate the *for loop* be replacing the following two lines with:

      (ap,pg) = string.split(string.strip(block[1:]))
**Remark: block[1:len(block)] is the same as block[1:], but without
          calulating len(block) everytime, further more the split
          and the strip is done only once
