Hi Denis,

This problem seems to exist only with MapServer 5.4.2 and Python 
MapScript (it is fixed in MapServer trunk).  You can manually fix the 
issue by editing mapscript.py by:

1) make sure the else on line 700 lines up with the if on line 698
2) make sure the else on line 1230 lines up with the if on line 1228
