Python "parser" not working

Question

I was trying to create a Hexviewer in Python (3), while coding, I issued an error that I couldn't fix, I am trying to make a function, that gets in a "\n" every [fontsize]/500, but it is just making "\n"s all over the place, what did I do wrong? (Python 3.4.3)

def parse(parse0):
    parse0 = list(parse0)
    i = 0
    for cur in parse0:
        if not cur == 10:
            i += 1
        else:
            i = 0
        if i > 500/fontsize:
            parse0.insert(parse0.index(cur),10)
            i = 0
    return parse0

I am not understanding quite well what you are trying to do... Are you trying to add an \n or a 10, because in your script you are inserting the number 10. What are the \ns for? — Stam Kaly

You shouldn't modify the list during iteration on its elements.

Make a new empty list and insert there your elements (and \n's) one by one in your loop)
