Why? What benefit do you gain by having a keyword like that? Indentation DOES end a block, and adding a noise word just before you unindent just leaves the possibility for it to be incorrect and thus misleading - not to mention that it's fundamentally misleading to anyone who is accustomed to Python syntax and the normal use of those keywords. If you MUST use a block-end marker, try "# end" instead - at least then everyone *knows* it's nothing more than a comment. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
