Python's Syntax

[Christophe Delord]

Hi,

If your question is about block separators, just read the documentation 
for further details : http://www.python.org/doc/current/ref/indentation.html

Lines with the same indentation are in the same block:

if condition:
     inst1               # do this if true
     inst2               # do this if true
else:
     inst3               # do this if false
inst4           # always do this
