Striving for PEP-8 compliance

[Ben Finney]

I'm interested that you are holding what appear to be contradictory
arguments, and don't seem to apply each one to the other. Let me take
the latest expressions of these and show how they can apply equally in
either direction:

What happens whe you're trying to reconcile two different
block-delimiter conventions?

Since indentation already, by definition, directly corresponds to
program logic in Python, where exactly is the problem that leads you to
want to eradicate indentation as syntax?


In other words: I don't see why the problems you're asserting are
problematic for one kind of block delimitation syntax but not the other.
