Here it is:

interfaces = self._getInterfaces()
...stuff deleted...
for interface in interfaces:
      """\
      ...HTML markup deleted...
      """ % interface
      if interface["numServices"]:
          service = interface["services"][0]
      else:
          ...other stuff deleted...

Maybe it's called by the interpolation of the "interface" dict values in the
markup between the "for" and the "if".
