Indeed. Meanwhile, see Tools/scripts/pindent.py in the Python source code distribution for a tool which understands block end delimiters and can output normal Python programs from those using such delimiters. It can also perform the transformation in reverse, converting those indentation-happy source files to the rigid world of the block delimiter.
