Of course there is another way!

Just use # in front of your favourite block separator.

I'm too lazy now to search the archives on who first suggested this,
but it works:

def something(x):
#{
    return x
#}

However, as with any and all block separators, this can lead to holy
wars - is the above the 'one true way', or is it one of the following?
All are valid Python...

def something_else(x):
    #{
    return x
    #}

def something_or_other(x):
    #{
        return x
    #}

def something_completely_different(x): #(
    return x
#}
