Although I have little or no experience with this, I still dare to say that I don't agree. The difference is that in C you do not _need_ to know where in the braces-defined hierarchy you are. You just embed or change a piece of code at the right location. In Python however you _do_ need to know how far your code is to be indented. -- André Engels, andreeng...@gmail.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
