Strange syntax error in Python 2.7.3 -


i have decided learn basic programming, , using mit opencourseware class learn in python. 1 of assignments create program generates 1000th prime number starting 0. 1 of first solutions follows:

oddlist = [] odd in range(3, 10000): if odd % 2 != 0:     oddlist.append(odd) else:     continue   primecount = 3 loopholder = true while loopholder == true:  possibleprime in oddlist:     if primecount == 1000:         print possibleprime         loopholder = false     math import *     limit = int(math.sqrt(possibleprime)      primetest in range(2, limit):             testcount = 0             if possibleprime % primetest == 0:                 testcount = testcount + 1                 primecount = primecount                             else:                 continue             if testcount > 0:                 primecount = primecount                 break             else:                 primecount = primecount + 1                 break

however, when run it, syntax error @ "for primetest in range(2, limit):" , python highlighting colon specifically. realize error result of syntax error somewhere else, can't find it. point out error is?

ps: semantics of code not needed, though appreciated.

you have "while loopholder == true:" without indented block after it. should write "while loopholder:", == true part isn't required. avoid doing import within loop. import statements @ top of file, unless need somewhere else. don't have closing bracket after "limit = int(math.sqrt(possibleprime)".

i trying assign class tag via jquery, resulting in error through firebug says "invalid assignment left-hand side" on fourth line below. <cfoutput> $('.pngfix a').each(function(index) { var hreflink = $(this).attr("href"); if (hreflink.tolowercase() = '../audio.cfm') { $(this).addclass('audioimg'); } }); </cfoutput> looking around online, looks syntax problem, don't seem see it... any tips? thanks if (hreflink.tolowercase() = '../audio.cfm') that attempts assign value, rather check equality. change = operator == .

i want read-only access user's google contacts. there stackoverflow member wanted this, , received following answer : yes, there is, use https://www.googleapis.com/auth/contacts.readonly scope , "view contacts". this exchange reference read-only access google contacts can find using google. simply using access token obtained attempt read usual google contacts api (i.e. https://www.google.com/m8/feeds ) fails insufficient permissions. similarly, using google contacts api on new target fails 404 errors (for example https://www.googleapis.com/auth/contacts.readonly/default/full ). is there documentation anywhere on how use api, or permissible way access google contacts api full read-write access?
