People here are right: remove the "not". You want to keep adding blanks
until the total length is zero mod 4. Then, at line 19 in the dpaste,
change the loop to: for blank in range(amountofblanks). You shouldn't
be subtracting one from the value there.

Yeah, but the point is to make the list exactly divisible, is there a
better way to do this? I'm then taking the number of fields and dividing
them by four, then outputting that number of items in each column.

I tried the "simple fix" and it isn't working either. It returned a list
of 33 items in one of the sections, that would work out to 8.25.
Obviously it is div

Joshua,
For the simple fix, I think you should remove the word "not" from your while
condition.
The better fix is to do the math all in one step:
amountofblanks += (4 - (len(templist) + amountofblanks) % 4) % 4

I have a form model that is generating a dynamic number of fields. It

This is not working, it is returning field lists that are 30 (/
