Oops.  Yes, that's what I meant :)  Thanks for the correction and link, Eric.

I think David meant the "else" clause on a "for" statement:

R. David Murray added the comment:

Whitespace is significant in Python.  This is a fundamental part of the 
language.  So yes, this is intentional.  (Look up what the 'else' clause means 
on an if statement in the language reference.)

[issue24106] Messed up indentation makes undesired piece of code being run!

[jentyk]

New submission from jentyk:

In [14]: for i in xrange(10):
   : if 1==1:
   : print "It's true"
   : else:
   : print "It isn't true. Seriously??"
   :
It's true
It's true
It's true
It's true
It's true
It's true
It's true
It's true
It's true
It's true
It isn't true. Seriously??

Is the behaviour intentional? I do not think so...
