In the second example, "else" corresponds to "if", while in the first one it corresponds to "for". The tutorial example on "for ... else" loops (http://docs.python.org/tut/node6.html#SECTION006400000000000000000) uses the prime number computation you posted, so read it again if it's not clear what the "else" clause does with loops.
