Question

I am not an expert Pythonista per se so I will begin with that as a clarification for me asking what could be a considered a trivial question about an else statement issue I have. Anyway for the sake of brevity, I went through all of the else syntax questions on stackoverflow regarding the same/similar issues and I was still unable to resolve the problem. Here is the code block in question:

   else: 
        m_len -= 33 
        dst.append(32) 
        n, m_len = divmod(m_len, 255) 
        dst.extend("\x00" * n) 
        dst.append(m_len) 
        dst.append((m_off << 2) & 0xff) 
        dst.append((m_off >> 6) & 0xff)
   else: #This is the line being complained about
        m_off -= 0x4000 
   if m_len <= 9: 
        dst.append(0xff & (16 | ((m_off >> 11) & 8) | (m_len - 2)))

Thanks in advance for any help or advise that can be offered! Cheers!

You can’t have more than one else statement in a single conditional block
Change the first else to elif and specify some condition
