for-loop issue
#1
I have a function with a for-loop containing a large (32) number of statements. But, the for-loop performs only 1 iteration. I double checked the code several times and did not see anything that will make it just go once.
Is there a limit to how many statements can be contained within a for-loop ?

There is no such limit in a for loop. There must be a logical error in code that makes the loop break too early. Very likely you will find it yourself, if you take the time to inspect and debug the code a bit. If that fails, feel free to post the code here (in Python code tags), and we'll help out.

You can try the builtin debugger to see what's happening. python -m pdb your-file.py
Once it starts up, you'll have a prompt. Type step (or s for short) to step through your code line by line, so you can find out exactly when the loop stops looping.
