I restore the redundancy by using ?#end? comments. E.g. a seriously
nontrivial case:

 
But even if that helps you organizationally, it doesn't resolve issues
of the interpreter potentially mis-parsing things due to mismatches in
tab/space factor between $EDITOR and the Python RTE, which is a truly
ridiculous thing to have to be concerned about.
 
(Thing I'm curious about, but don't have a test environment to hand -
does a blank line with a different indent level, in between lines of
the same level, break out of the block? E.g., given the following:
 
if condition:
    foo()
   
    bar()
 
baz()

The answer is that it doesn't matter if the blank line between foo() and
bar() contains four spaces. bar() will always be treated as being part
of the if statement's body.
