the code works with no problem, I am playing around with the pdb, i.e

****************
from pdb import *
set_trace() 

for i in range(1,500000):
    print i
print "tired of this"
print "I am out"
****************

-> for i in range(1,500000):
(Pdb) n
> /home/fred/python/practic/practic.py(5)?()
-> print i
(Pdb) n
1
> /home/fred/python/practic/practic.py(4)?()
-> for i in range(1,500000):
(Pdb) b 6
Breakpoint 1 at /home/fred/python/practic/practic.py:6
(Pdb) c
> /home/fred/python/practic/practic.py(5)?()
-> print i <<<< I expected (print "tired of this")
(Pdb)
