Re: Tabs As Syntax

Python does away with that redundancy, by making the indentation serve
as statement-bracketing as well. I think this is a mistake. However, I
restore the redundancy by adding “#end” lines (which the compiler
ignores). E.g.
      def parse_headers() :
         nonlocal content_type, content_type_opts
         for keyword, value in scope["headers"] :
             keyword = keyword.decode().lower()
             if keyword == "content-type" :
                 content_type = value.decode()
             elif keyword == "cookie" :
                 for item in value.decode().split(";") :
                     name, val = item.strip().replace(" ", "").split("=", 1)
                     cookies[name] = val
                 #end for
             #end if
         #end for
         if content_type != None :
             content_type, content_type_opts = \
                 multipart.multipart.parse_options_header(content_type)
             content_type = content_type.decode()
             content_type_opts = dict((k.decode(), v) for k, v in content_type_opts.items())
         #end if
     #end parse_headers

Let me fix that back for you:
  def parse_headers() :
         nonlocal content_type, content_type_opts
         for keyword, value in scope["headers"] :
             keyword = keyword.decode().lower()
             if keyword == "content-type" :
                 content_type = value.decode()
             elif keyword == "cookie" :
                 for item in value.decode().split(";") :
                     name, val = item.strip().replace(" ", "").split("=", 1)
                     cookies[name] = val
         if content_type != None :
             content_type, content_type_opts = \
                 multipart.multipart.parse_options_header(content_type)
             content_type = content_type.decode()
             content_type_opts = dict((k.decode(), v) for k, v in content_type_opts.items())
much better
