Hi Barry, hi all, there was an expample at
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18940719/python-indentation-with-emacs/18940836#18940836 if 1 < 2: print("this line is part of the if statement") print("this is NOT part of the if statement") The OP wanted the Editor intends the second "print" to column 0. IMO it's possibly establishing an edit rule saying: if an empty line follows a block, consider this block closed. Now seeing the example below at http://pyvideo.org/video/1708/distributed-coordination-with-python def find(seq, target): for i, value in enumerate(seq): if value == tgt: break else: return -1 return i If an empty line after "break" is inserted: def find(seq, target): for i, value in enumerate(seq): if value == tgt: break else: return -1 return i That would allow to calulate the "else:" to column 4 right away. Also for me it's slightly better readable. Question: Would you welcome such an edit-style or rather discourage?
