Chad, The usage is like this: - if <cond1>: - <block 1> - elif <cond2>: - <block 2> - else: - <block 3>
So, your code should be: if tries == 1: .... elif tries == 2: .... (You have 'else' followed by a condition...hence a syntax error. else is what it means - "if no other condition is satisfied". You should use 'elif' for subsequent conditions after 'if'.) Thanks, -Kartic -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
