Python Lab for class isn't working right.

In my python lab for my current class, my initial print statement isn't printing and the rest of the code starts and then the last increment just continues infinitely.

A Basic For loop

print('I will display the numbers 1 through 5. ')

for num in [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]: print(num)

This didn't print my code out as I typed it out in Python. I'm not sure what the issue is. I'll try again.

A Basic For loop

print('I will display the numbers 1 through 5. ')

for num in [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]: print(num)

It works as expected, print number from 1 to 5.

but, it keeps repeating infinitely and it isn't supposed to do that and there's a statement that is supposed to be printed firs, before the program begins to count and that isn't printing.

Any other suggestions? I have the print statement indented because when I try without the indention, it tells me that I need to indent the print statement. but then it still doesn't print the print statement. It just moves on to printing the numbers and when it gets to 5 it just continues to print 5 without stopping.
