Hi Chris,

This is a nonstarter — meaningful indentation is a pretty baked-in (

I know. However why not have something that suits even more people.
Meaningful indentation is great (and liked here) too... but it could be
even better for those valuing that while those who do not don't have to
use it.
And yes, it’s been brought up many times before on this list.
Sorry. Newbie here. If being brought up many times, implementing it
would be 100% backwards compatible and those relying solely on
meaningful indentation can continue to do so .... sounds like a perfect
candidate for a PEP to me. Glad to hear I'm not the only one :-)
And it already exists:
for item in a_sequence:
do_some_stuff
#end for
Yeah. That's I'm doing now.
What I'm suggesting does not exist however. The bit that's missing is
that the Python interpreter would check that and "end" matches the
correct begin.
:-)

PS: I’m pretty sure some has written an import hook that does
something like this — but mostly as a joke.
Having the interpreter check more at parse time saves a significant
amount of time in more complex projects - no joke :-)
