To save indentation.
if condition:
block
else:
if other:
block
else:
if third:
block
else:
block
versus:
if condition:
block
elif other:
block
elif third:
block
else:
block
Python could have spelled "elif" as "else if", but that's just a matter of
spelling. Either way, the important thing is that the else-if/elif keeps
the same indentation as the if.
