Larry Hastings <la...@hastings.org> added the comment: I stared at it some more. Now I understand what "for ... : else:" was for in the original. The "else: i += 1" ensures that if the "for" loop runs to completion "i" is set to the length of the shorter of the two lists. Anyway, my reimplemented loop accomplishes this in a slightly easier-to-read style.
