For example, if all I'm doing is opening a file -- that isn't "logically" a separate block. In fact, I find myself reading entire files into memory and then processing them, so as to avoid having to extra-indent all the processing code. The point being that the problem is not with "if" not having a feature, but with with (heh, heh) itself in many contexts. All that being said, it's not that big a deal, and I personally don't try to limit to 80 chars per line anyway -- preferring 90 or 95 -- I haven't used a VT100 in decades .... It's the price we pay for nifty feature. -Chris B PS -- your linter will yell at you, but you COULD simply use 2 spaces for a if:with combo. -- Christopher Barker, PhD (Chris) Python Language Consulting - Teaching - Scientific Software Development - Desktop GUI and Web Development - wxPython, numpy, scipy, Cython
