Are you placing a colon (":") after each "else" and "elif ..."?

Are you making sure that the indentation of the "else" and "elif" are
the same as for the "if" statement, while indenting the inner code
block further?

Finally, this mailing list is for discussing issues specific to IDLE.
General Python questions, like your question, should be posting on the
comp.lang.python newsgroup (easy via Google Groups) or perhaps Python
IRC channels.

Good luck!
