Hi, Sam- I'm not wanting to start a flame war, either, but may I ask why does your friend want to do that? I'm always intrigued by the folks who object to the indentation rules in Python, even though I've always tried to keep consistent indentation in all the languages I've used (and I've been at this since the 1980's). Even my Perl coding friends tend to insist on indents being aligned. I'm just curious, that's all.
Thanks, --greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
