A state of the art sophisticated parser? :)))

You almost got me. I don't know very much about Python and I had to
check that # is a beginning of a comment.

Do you know the meaning of 'instead of' ?

You still have to use indentation, right? You can't write:

    if 1: #{ print 2 #} else: #{ print 3 #}

instead of

    if 1: #{
	print 2
    #}	
    else: #{ 
	print 3
    #}

because that would be read as

    if 1:
