Why did Python not implement end... The end is really not necessary for the programming language it can be excluded, but it is a courtesy to the programmer and could easily be transformed to indents automaticly, that is removed before the compiliation/interpretation of code.  

Got the script working though :D, good start. It seem though that Python automaticly add linebreaks after printout. Is there a way to not have print command change line? Or must i build up a string/strings for later printout?

#!/usr/bin/python
import math
# Function definition is here
def sq(number):
   
      square=1;
      factor=2;
      exponent=2;
      print(x,"= ");
      while (number>3):
         while (square<=number):
            factor+=1;
            square=math.pow(factor,exponent);
         factor-=1;	
         print(factor,"^2");
         square=math.pow(factor,exponent);
         number=number-(factor*factor);
         square=1; 
         factor=1;
      print("+",number);
      return

print("Exp=x^2");
for x in range (21,22):
      sq(x);
