Do you mean, replace this:

i = 0
while i < len(term.args) - 1:
____mark_term(term.args[i])
____i += 1
term = term.args[i] 

By this:

for i,term in enumerate(term.args):
____mark_term(term.args[i]) 

This wouldn't be correct anymore. The
recursive call is only for the arguments
except for the last one one.
