thanks for your reply

i have had the indentation error and corrected it
but this error is invalid syntax

can i ask another quesion

why doesn't a directory keep its order
params = {"server":"mpilgrim", "database":"master", "uid":"sa", "pwd":"secret"}
print params.items()
[('pwd', 'secret'), ('database', 'master'), ('uid', 'sa'), ('server', 'mpilgrim')]

Python Dictionaries don't have order

the code in red is commented out, so unless you post it the exact way you want, how could we possible tell you. maybe it's a mix of tabs and spaces.

thanks

Code:
knights={'gallahad': 'the pure', 'robin': 'the brave'}

import xbmcgui
ACTION_PREVIOUS_MENU = 10

[color=Red]#       why doesn't this work here

     for k, v in knights.iteritems():
