I think this is a fun question. I can't think of any good reason to allow indenting less than the containing statement, but I'm also wondering if there's edge cases I might be missing. If not, then maybe we can indeed just require adding another indentation level. And maybe that means that statements inside expressions wouldn't require a Rube Goldberg machine ;) If anyone is curious, I initially wrote [a much larger proposal with several overlapping subproposals in which `if`, `try`, and `def` could all be used as expressions](https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/f5wm1d/proposal_compound_statement_expressions_complex/). I figured that was hopelessly ambitious and just submitted the part I liked best. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/EOUPQCV6EA6H6KDWWVEAXNDP7S5BM3MF/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
