no SyntaxError?

[Robert W. Bill]

Just curious- I didn't find any references to this in a quick search of 
the faq and elsewhere...

This snippet generates "SyntaxError: invalid syntax"

def test():
    else: print "whoops"
test()

However, the following snippet generates "0 1 whoops" when it seems like
it should also generate "SyntaxError: invalid syntax" because there is no 
if before the else. 
 
def test1():
    for i in range(2):
        print i,
    else:
        print "whoops"

test1()

Why is it that I do not get a "SyntaxError" in the second example?
