This list is really mostly for discussion of the Emacs/XEmacs python-mode
(assistance for editing Python code).  You'd be better off asking this sort
of question on help at python.org or python-list at python.org.  Make sure you
post your code and the output of running it.  My offhand guess is that you
probably have an indentation mistake in your code.  That's a common problem
for first-time Python programmers.
