I wonder the reason for ELIF. it's not aligned with IF, make code ugly
It most certainly is aligned with IF:
if cond1:
do this
elif cond2:
do that
else:
do the other
The "if" "elif" and "else" are all aligned in all of the code
I've ever seen.
In some other languages, eg Modula-2, it's 'elsif'; the disadvantage
there is that if you were hearing it read out you might ask:
Do you mean 'elsif' or 'else if'?
so 'elif' is not only shorter, it's clearer.
