Re: yet another indentation proposal

2007-08-20 Thread Jakub Stolarski
Why not just use comments and some filter. Just write # _{ at the beginning and # _} at the end. Then filter just before runing indenting with those control sequences? Then there's no need to change interpreter. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

And if we stick with english, why we should need non-ASCII characters? Any non-ASCII character makes code less readable. We never know

there are many much more powerful tools. If there will be any other parsing tool in standard library that's OK. But I think that python needs some standard parsing tool. -- Jakub Stolarski -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
