I find it a little curious that nobody ever seems to advocate the use of vertical tabs instead of repeated newlines. It should offer the same benefit as horizontal tabs, namely that one could then independently configure one's editor to separate adjacent code elements with the desired number of blank lines. But I suppose that nobody finds that useful enough to bother with in the vertical case. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
