Your formatting is still broken, here's how I suspect you want it to look:

k=0
for p in range(1,10):
    for q in range(0,10):
        for r in range(0,10):
            for s in range(0,10):
                for t in range(0,10):
                    n = (p*10000)+ (q*1000) + (r*100) + (s*10) + t
                    if n == p**5 + q**5 + r**5 + s**5 + t**5:
                        #print(n)
                        k += n
print(k)

What Peter said is very important too. I very much doubt you'll find
the solution with those loops.
