Let's assume it does... :-)

If I understand correctly, you want the data to lay out something like this:

Wildlife
       Fish
               Abundance
                       WFA1         if abundance is few then...
                       WFA2         if abundance is moderate then...
                       WFA3         if abundance is many then...


Assuming that to be the case, what about:

for v in varList:
    if row[0] == v[2] and s[1] == v[3]:
        ivr.write(v[0])
        ivr.write('\n''\n')
        subitems = [tuple(item[-2:]) for item in varList if item[:3] == v[:3]]
        for item in subitems:
           ivr.write('\t%s\t%s\n' % item)

Untested, obviously... but maybe that's close enough to be useful?

HTH,
