Is it new idea month? :) That would seem to follow the pattern of combining sequential lines that end in ':'. if pay<10 if hours>10 if stressed: sys.exit() That would be the same as using ands. And this gives us an if-try pattern with a shared else clause. if trapped try: exit = find('door') except: yell_for_help() else: #works for both if and try! ;-D leave() Which would be the same as: if trapped: try: exit = find('door') except: yell_for_help() else: leave() else: leave() Interesting idea, but I think it might make reading other peoples code more difficult.
