yes

Post your code, or at least the full error message if you want more
details.

That statement makes no sense (thus SyntaxError).

for 1 (one) in oids, vals head_oids:

has several problems:

1 - for source variable can't be a number it has to be a name

in oids, vals head_ioids can't be for target as it is at least two and maybe
three different variables (I'm confused because oids <commavals <space>
head_oids) is a second syntax error. You probably need to go back and review
the Python tutorial to get the syntax of a for loop set in your mind properly.

1 is a literal, you can't assign it to something. Are you trying to
use it as a variable name?

Slightly OT, but is there an editor that can display digits in a
different colour to letters?

SciTE and Notepad++ which are just 2 of the editors installed on my PC
currently.

Most programmer oriented editors could, some even have full syntax
coloring, they would color keywords (like def, class, etc), literals
(1, 'hello', etc), and commonly used built-in function (int, ord,
iter, etc). It really helped if you have to read/write lots of codes

That simply means you did something like this:
'hello' = 'another'
123 = 'kilo'
[12, 'asd] = 123

Sometimes it's not that obvious (although they're obvious for a more
experienced programmers):
for 123 in xrange(10):
pass

I think you've realized what you've done. And there is a pretty
obvious signal that hints that you didn't know the basic syntax of
python (or at least the basic syntax of the for-loop).

Pype, spe, just to point it out. Jedit, but rather a bloatware.
I'd like to know which is the litest multi platform and indipendent.
Pype is very good when compiled in exe, but not doing in Linux in that way.

I like Vim (Vi Improved) -- multi-platform, multi-lingual (both spoken
and programmatic), and you can change the existing syntax/color/indent
files or make your own.

Do you mean indenting, or wrapping? Vim has excellent indenting
support, and Python files already included that support proper
indenting, syntax coloring, etc.

I don't use the line-wrapping feature myself, so I have no experience
with it.

In my mind it took me just few seconds :), but to get it working I spent
nearly *one* hour. I admit that my skill lacks of knowledge ])

You should strip all extraneous white space from code though.

For my taste, trailing spaces will be removed by my editor (Kate :) )
Other space tabulators are an issue which won't suite my needs.

Very good indeed :) Specially to do with block reformatting.
I just post my script to demonstrate my thoughts in what I meant as
justifying. Specially considering that I meant character justification
regardless of its width. Monospace chars will show pretty alignment.

BTW, I'm beginner and my coding takes much try-and-test. ;)
