I was going to say the same thing.  Occam's answer to Stefan's
question about what to do if you want more than one statement
executed per step was to wrap sequences of statements in a
SEQ construct.  You end up indenting a long way very fast if
you aren't careful.

I'm afraid much as I love PAR, Python's dynamicism makes it
rather more 'exciting' than it was in occam.
