Well, I'm careful with my indenting, so I might get used to it quickly,
also, but that doesn't mean I would like it as a design choice. Also, am I
remembering something that mitigates this issue? . . . Does it also require
a blank line, too.
In other words, would this be caught by the "compiler"
LOOP CONSTRUCT
one line
another line
third line that should be indented under line two
Would Python complain about this because line two was not a loop construct
or something that would have a block of code associated with it and it found
an indention?

I agree on capitalization - it just sucks.
As I noted in another post, I originally thought that indentation
would be an issue. Turns out that since I am used to indenting my
code anyway, it wasn't a problem at all. It actually forces you to
create readable code, since you can't write code like this (which is
perfectly legal in Fox):
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
lnDir = ADIR(laDir, lcDir + "*." + tcExt)
IF tcExt $ "SCX,VCX"
FOR lnCnt = 1 TO lnDir
lcFile = laDir[lnCnt, 1]
USE (lcDir + lcFile) ALIAS LIB
SCAN
IF ATC(tcText, methods) > 0
pnFound = pnFound + 1
lcRetVal = lcRetVal + CRLF + CHR(9) + "File: " +
FULL(lcFile)
lcRetVal = lcRetVal + CRLF + CHR(9) + CHR(9) + "Object: " +
objname
ELSE
IF ATC(tcText, properties) > 0
pnFound = pnFound + 1
lcRetVal = lcRetVal + CRLF + CHR(9) + "File: " + FULL(lcFile)
lcRetVal = lcRetVal + CRLF + CHR(9) + CHR(9) + "Object: " +
objname
ENDIF
ENDIF
ENDSCAN
USE
ENDFOR
ENDIF
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Don't laugh, as I've had to deal with crazy code like this in
several projects I've inherited. This is completely unreadable, yet
Fox loves it.
