hello, I've the idea that the "else" syntax is not always handled correctly, or I'm overlooking something.
This pieces of code are automatic translation from another language, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't ??? This piece of code works nice: a = 2 def JSM (line_nr): print line_nr if a>3: print 'asddas' else: JSM(230) ; \ <== this is the problem line, that's ok here print 'aaps' While this piece of code gives a syntax error: #Function button_antidender(bit in pin,sbyte in out Button_Counter_Temp,byte in demp) return bit is def button_antidender ( pin, button_counter_temp, demp ): #serial_hw_write(counter) Serial_HW_Write ( button_counter_temp ) ;JSM(226) if JSM(227) and ( button_counter_temp >= 0 ): if JSM(228) and ( pin == on ): button_counter_temp = button_counter_temp + 1 ;JSM(229) else: JSM(230) ; \ <=== SYNTAX ERROR button_counter_temp = 1 ;JSM(231) Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\data_to_test\JALsPy\JALsPy.py", line 347, in ? Run_JALsPy_Application () File "D:\data_to_test\JALsPy\JALsPy.py", line 327, in Run_JALsPy_Application JG.app.MainLoop() File "D:\data_to_test\JALsPy\JALsPy.py", line 255, in MainLoop import JAL_simulation_file File "D:\data_to_test\JALsPy\JAL_simulation_file.py", line 265 else: JSM(230) ; \ I guess it's not the preferred syntax, but the resemblance with the original language it optimal. Why is it sometimes accepted an sometimes give an error message ? thanks, Stef Mientki -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
