Please post the code in plain text. The email system has stripped the
spacing out of the code below making it impossible to debug.

Also please include the full error messages - they contain a lot of
information, your summary tells us very little.

We need the whole message, not just a summary.
And how did you manage to get two errors so far apart?
Usually python stops at the first error.

You can use either loop, for is usually more convenient and considered
better Python style for processing collections. But for 'infinite' loops
while is preferred.
