PSP as implemented by mod_python is fussy about how many spaces are used in indents. Use either 8 space or tab indents. If you don't want to do that, you will need to use comment hints to help PSP understand what level of indenting you are using. See: http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2005-May/018102.html Comment hints may still be needed in certain cases to turn off scopes even if 8 space or tab indents are needed so it is good to understand what they are about. Also ask further questions on mod_python user mailing list as you will in general get better responses there. Graham -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
