Nested For and While Statements

[koutoo]

I start my code with some constants then a while statement. But I
have some For statements towards the end within the While statement
where I start getting some errors. I'm hoping I won't have to post my
code, but it looks something like this:

Import os, string

while this:

All Code indented like it should
Last line in While.

For i in range(1)
class = []
class2 = []
For i in range(2)
Do this
And this
And that.

Next Line hits snag here? Where should this line
be?

Your for loops both use the same counting index.

Why are the for loops further indented than the body of the while? If
they are part of the while, "For i in range(1)" should line up with
"Last line in While." If they are not part of the while, but come
after, then "For i in range(1)" should line up with "while this:".

Also, as James Stroud said, your for loop indexes are the same
variable.

Your for loops both use the same counting index.

Since those variables are local to the for loop, theoretically it
should work with both loops using the same variable. Although bad
practice, I tested it on my machine and the following code does indeed
work as expected, so it appears that the problem is indenting the for
loops properly.
for j in range( 10 ):
print j, "first loop"
for j in range( 5 ):
print " ", j, "2nd loop"

[Zentrader]

In addition, "for" is lower case, i.e not "For". If this doesn't
solve the problem then please post the actual error message. "Next
Line hits snag here? Where should this line be?" is not specific
enough.

My actual code has different variables, but thanks for pointing that
out. I'm so used to coding in VB, where indenting isn't a problem, so
all this indenting is new to me how Python wants it dictated. I made
the changes and still get an error at the same point after the second
For statement? So:

While :
Code under while
More under while.

For (x)
Part of x
Last of x

For(y)
Part of y
Still part of y
last part of y.

New line part of x #where does this belong?
Last line under while not in For #Should go under While, right?
If I want all my code to run under the while, then the While statement
should be the only line of code not indented once I state it then,
correct?

symptoms. What do I have?"

Please provide the actual errors and the actual code. It is easier,
less error prone and more useful to copy and paste them instead of
writing some pseudocode. Maybe the repeated index i is a typo you
made when writing this post and the original code is correct, but we
don't have any way to know that.

You're missing the closing parenthesis on the last line of the inner
for loop.
