It's the identation that "closes the brackets".
Like this:

if condition:
  do something
  so something else
continue indepently from condition
programm cntinues

Just try to change the identation slightly, you will get an parser error,
if it does not fit:

if condition:
    idented
  wrong-idented

Ah, this question is already aswered :)
