Interesting. Python's use of indentation comes from ABC, which based the design partially on extensive testing on human beings. Humans often use indentation for grouping, and colons to introduce a new level or group are at least as common. In fact, most humans can understand the structure of a Python program even if they've never programmed before. I guess writers don't use indentation to group text on your planet. </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
