  There's a difference between "mandatory indentation" (good!) and what Python does. I wrote a rant on this subject: http://www.hackerdashery.com/2006/09/close-block-delimiter-symbols.html http://www.hackerdashery.com/2006/09/close-block-delimiter-s...

    that's actually my opinion. i like the punctuation of closing symbols. my brain doesn't have to think about anything, it just sees "end" and that's that

    Your rant is rather silly, but if you'd like to know about the colon at the end of blocks: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2000-December/062885.html http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2000-December/0... http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2000-December/063055.html http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2000-December/0... If you really want a close block delimiter, python is happy to oblige. Just spell it `#end`. ;-)
