>Depending on the options set in vi, it can do horrible things to indentation when you paste things in :(
I just looked at your original posting (using Outlook) and line 3 is not indented, but rather continuous from line 2, and the other indents are in columns 5 and 9 (not 4 and 8). I shall try viewing it with other mail clients, just for kicks. But now that I know that whitespace is critical in Python, I will be more careful. >Python is not at all like Fortran, In Fortran (at least through Fortran IV - I never did much with Fortran 77 and nothing beyond that) white space except for line endings is totally insignificant. True, you have some formatting restrictions like positions 1 - 5 for statement numbers, 6 for continuation and 7 - 72 for statements (although some compilers relaxed these), but consider that the compiler's parser/tokenizer doesn't know whether I was loosely referring to Fortran reserving certain columns for certain things. I barely remember it at all (that was back in my pre-Commodore64 (PEEKin' and POKEin' anyone?), punched-hole card days). - jim - ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
