Hi Xavier, well, what means "easier"? Our personal notion about whats best or fittest not always is acknowledged by others obviously. Tastes differ. From that I mean its better not just to look for the one-and-all solution, but to offer flavors of modes, so people have the choice. Thats already done with perl-mode and cperl-mode for example. Nonetheless, the one-and-all idea seems deep-rooted not just in religion. With python-mode.el, people may have good reasons, to use it as it is - and me to leave it as it is. Thats fine with bazaar and other DVCs, we can do that. My branch doesn't hamper the origin and any further branch will not. Its just freedom to try and see. Branch orginated from some request, to close forms more definitely, more specific. Whilst python looks easy and indeed is, editing it poses some specific difficulties resulting from special meaning of whitespace. Python-mode solved this by offering some repeats: if you are not at the right indentation, just try the next one - outer or inner. Thats OK, thats a possible approach. Here the request came from a user, who must care to save keystrokes. Thus I wrote commands precisely closing function or class, resp. last block. Block conceived as the smollest hierarchical unit - themselves if no hierarchy exists. Too I had some other things in mind: reduction of complexity, generalisation. Something remains to be done. Some reporting facilities have been introduced and shall be still.
