[mod_python] using nested blocks in psp

[cloc3]

I'm a newbie in python, and I'm fighting against nested blocks in psp.
Thats a little example with a funny behaviour:
[code]





<%
for i in range(50, 350, 50):
 if 'List' in form and int(form['List'])==i:
  sel="selected"
 else:
  sel="pippo"
 %> ><%=i%> 
 <%
%>




[/code]
In my intention, the for instruction have to run two operation:
 first: the if instruction
 second: to print the option tag on the html page.

Instead, the real behaviour is depending on the result of the control
in the if:
 if the control is true, the option tag is not printed, and the for
instruction goes to the successive step.
 if the control is false, the option is correctly printed.

I don't understand the reason of this behaviour.
Which is the right way to control the nested block instructions in psp?

PSP as implemented by mod_python is fussy about how many spaces are
used in indents. Use either 8 space or tab indents. If you don't want
to do that, you will need to use comment hints to help PSP understand
what level of indenting you are using. See:

  http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2005-May/018102.html

Comment hints may still be needed in certain cases to turn off scopes
even if 8 space or tab indents are needed so it is good to understand
what they are about.

Also ask further questions on mod_python user mailing list as you will
in general get better responses there.

Thank you. That solves my problem.
Here the good code:
[code]





<%
for i in range(50, 350, 50):
%>

selected
<%
#end if
%>
><%=i%>

<%
# end for
%>




[/code]
