As Terry has been trying to say for a while now, use the following
methods to quell your eye pain.
------------------------------------------------------------
Use pass statement:
------------------------------------------------------------
if foo:
if bar:
baz
else:
pass
else:
quux
------------------------------------------------------------
Use comments:
------------------------------------------------------------
if foo:
if bar:
baz
#else bar (or endif or whatever you like)
else:
quux
------------------------------------------------------------
Use road signs: :-)
------------------------------------------------------------
# [Warning: Curves Ahead: Eyeball Parse limit 35 WPM!]
if foo: # [Exit 266: "foo"] -->
# [Right Curve Ahead: slow eyeball parsing to 15 WPM!]
if bar:
baz
else:
pass # <-- [Warning: Do not litter!]
else: # [Exit 267: "Not Foo"] -->
# [Right Curve Ahead: slow eyeball parsing to 15 WPM!]
quux
...
# [Eyeball Parse limit 55 WPM!]
...
# [PSA: Friends don't let friends write asinine code]
...
# [Next Rest Stop: NEVER!]
------------------------------------------------------------
Now you have the nice triangular shape that your eyes have been
trained to recognize! I would suggest to use comments whenever
possible. Of course there will be times when you cannot use a comment
and must use an else clause.
Now you have nothing to complain about :).
