Yes, there are tools that could catch the Apple bug <https://www.imperialviolet.org/2014/02/22/applebug.html>, by catching incorrect indentation. But if the rule is to *always* use braces, that just feels safer. Even if it offends some people's ability to read everything at one glance (my suggestion: use a smaller font or a larger screen; or refactor the code so it isn't as big a chunk). There's a fairly exhaustive list of styles here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indent_style I'm sure that some of these have not been advocated in this thread. > > */arry* > > > _______________________________________________ > Python-Dev mailing > listPython-Dev@python.orghttps://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev > Unsubscribe: > https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/tritium-list%40sdamon.com > > > > _______________________________________________ > Python-Dev mailing list > Python-Dev@python.org > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev > Unsubscribe: > https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/pludemann%40google.com > >
