Sounds good. Three more comments:  You replied to me privately, but 
everyone else deserves to know your problem is resolved.  Usually you 
just do a Reply-all, and it'll go both to the list and to the 
individual(s) already involved.

And in commenting about indenting, I should clarify that you should 
never mix tabs and spaces in the same file.  I used spaces exclusively, 
and have never run into problems.  My editor does not put a tab in, it's 
configured differently.

Note also that a few other things indent, besides just for-loop.  Same 
principle applies to if statements, functions, to class definitions, to 
with statements.  Roughly, if the line ends with a colon, you probably 
should indent all the following lines that it controls.
