Time ago I used to add a | or something similar at the beginning of lines, to avoid the leading whitespace stripping done by Google Groups. Other (silly) solutions are to add explicitely the number of indents at the beginning of a line (2 digits suffice), or to even add explicit #end comments just under the dedents, so a script can read such ending comments and reconstruct the original Python indentations... (lines splitted with \ and similar require some extra care). Bye, bearophile -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
