Why ? I use pass and continue each time to break a if or a for because emacs understands it and do not break the indentation. Is there any other instruction to end a if than pass and ensure Emacs does not break the indentation during a copy paste or an indent-region ? > Aside from not breaking most every existing Python program?

I'm not talking about a general change in Python as a language, I'm talking about a module who would enforce a block namespace as it works with C or Perl (and many). In Perl, use strict will break any non-strict code. So each is free to chose between strict and not strict. Anyway, there's no perfect language, the point is to know it. It's just confusing I still have to declare or not declare an object depending on the action I have with it. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
