>From time to time I teach some programming (in an institution called "Volkshochschule" here in Germany -- inexpensive courses for adults). My Python course is for absolute beginners with no previous programming experience of any kind. And yes, this people have quite some difficulties to get their blocks indented right. Before Python I used C++ in this beginner course and at least setting the boundaries for blocks was a little less of a problem. So I would appreciate optional statements to end a block (indentation rules may be mandatory). This comes also very handy in something like Python Server Pages of mod_python (where a comment line to explicitly end a block is sometimes needed). -- Stefan. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
