[Tutor] Why is this not an error?

[Steve N]

This code runs, but it seems to me it should generate
a syntax error.  Can someone explain what's going on?

x = [1,2,3,4]
z = 4
if z in x:
    print 'found:', z
for i in x:
    print 'in the loop with', i
else:
    print 'not found:', z

>>> 
found: 4
in the loop with 1
in the loop with 2
in the loop with 3
in the loop with 4
not found: 4
>>>
