"for" with "else"?

[Invalid User]

While trying to print a none empty list, I accidentaly put an "else"
statement with a "for" instead of "if". Here is what I had:

   if ( len(mylist)> 0)  :
     for x,y in mylist:
       print x,y
     else:
       print "Empty list"

which was supposed to be:

   if ( len(mylist)> 0)  :
     for x,y in mylist:
       print x,y
   else:
     print "Empty list"


Is this to be expected?
