Well, in principle, you could also allow NL within inline conditionals [i.e. in the part bracketed by if and else] as well. This probably isn't very desirable though, I was kind of assuming that the parser knew when it was at the start of a line. > Keywords (reserved words) are special everywhere except in strings and > comments. I don't think that's directly relevant to Andrew's question, it's could still be the "same kind of special", whereas the tokenizer needs to treat it differently in each context and therefore differentiate between the contexts. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/6XH2VATLNRN6EY3CY4C4ZWQEKX3H5YHZ/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
