Oh right, that's a recent change to the language, I think. OK:
while not usrinp.lower() in list

Mmm, right. Thanks for the cor

Correct way:
while usrinp != "y" or usrinp != "Y" or usrinp != "N" or usrinp != "n":
There has to be a boolean evaluation on both sides of or.
Or in this case:
while usrinp not in ['Y', 'y', 'N', 'n']:

It might be important

Looping over indexes is kinda unpyth

Great! It's been solved.
The line, as Glaudio said has a "," at the end and that makes it go onto
one line, thanks so much man!
var = 0
while <= 5:
print a[t[var]],
var = var +1
prints perfectly, thanks so much guys.

I think I should paste some of the programs code a little more of what I
want...
var = 0
while var <= 5:
print a[t[var]]
var = var +1
a is a dectionary (very big) and t is a string of text. (if that's
important right now).
I'm just trying to make the value of a[t[var]] print on one l
