I tried your code as-is and I did not get any errors when I passed in a list of positive integers, so I don't know why your program is 'crashing', so I suspect something else is interfering with your debugging. (Although, as others have said, you really should use the same number of spaces at every indent level.)

Here's what I entered:

def splitList(myList):
    newlist = []
    for i in range(len(myList)):
        if (myList[i]%2 == 0):
           newlist.append(myList [i])  # Only 3-space indent here
    return newlist

print splitList([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])

When I run it:

[2, 4]

Can you show how you're invoking the method and the exact error message?
