I didn't intend to propose to Python style at the beginning. In my first 
post in this thread, I said:

Exactly my intention and wish. Maybe the thread is getting too long to 
make people get lost to find out earlier posts.

Unlike many of rubists, I actually can see the value of python 
indentation.  But on the other hand, I have experienced most the 
drawbacks of python indentation as Matz pointed out.  I agree that 
adding something to end the code block is a must-have, especially in 
template webpage.

Have a nice weekend, all.
