Hi JJ,
You indicate a block with indentation. Like so:

while notDone:
     chip = self.getNumberOfSomething()
     if chip == 10:
         print "Tjohoo"
     else:
         print "Oh no!"

I changed the this to self because thats the usual way of calling an
instance method.  Just pretend there's a class floating just off screen that
this is inside of.

Good luck,
David

ps.  I've got a gun to my head.  If this turns into a whitespace thread, the
white boy gets it!
