It's working because for-loops else statements are are executed only if the loop hasn't been terminated unexpectedly. Which is what happens here: if the inner loop is breaked, it's else is not executed. So the outer loop's break is called. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
